Last week when I was taking these pictures a Bank Vole would break cover and sit on a rock wall right next to where I was shooting. I would lay down my coffee cup or camera and there he would be 6 inches away - at one point he crawled over the camera. The next day his wife came too but very briefly. I told my wife and daughter about it at dinner and got raised eyebrows. The next day right on time the vole came out and sat next to my cup, this time I picked him up and summoned my daughter. She grabbed a snap with her iphone. That night I left a chunk of cheese on the wall, the next morning it was long gone.

The Vole likes Parmesan.

Thanks for taking the time and kind comments.

There's loads going on in the garden these days, makes a nice change. Good to take notice of the smaller majority.

Best

Nice work (by proxy), Phil.

I have had to trap and escort some Wood Mice from our house recently. They made quite a racket over our bedroom ceiling at night.They love white chocolate!

Why is it that women don't believe anything men say!

Pretty cool buzzy images but the vole is too cute...and much better in the garden than in the house.

Thanks Harold and Eric. The bees are good fun; cool behaviour and difficult to get sharp In flight but the Vole meeting was special. For a wild mammal, especially a small high turnover prey species, to act so unguarded and friendly is a first for me. I have a theory however- I think he took one look at my stomach and thought to himself 'that thing is so full whatever it is couldn't be hungry- I'm safe'!!!

Cheers
Phil

Lovely bee shots Phil. The vole story is quite interesting. Most voles in my neck of the woods are not that brave. And they way they wreck my lawn each winter, it is probably good they are timid.

Thanks to all very much for viewing/comments.

Thanks Paul, I favor the bluebell shot as well, challenging to get a clean background/proper separation down amongst the flowers. In the top two images the petals themselves acted like mini bounce cards for the eyes.

I'm still on the bee/bugtography job, great to be able to work at home.

Thanks again,
Phil

It's real neat to have a wild creature make friends like that. Btw the bee images are outstanding. Tfs.
