The week didn't hold much excitement apart from this amazing rainbow which appeared over the fields while I was driving back from work. I could only quickly snap it as I pulled up in the oncoming lane and the picture doesn't really do it justice.
This week's notable things have included:
Newts in the pond
There are pond skaters, diving beetles, whirligigs and water boatmen too. I've not even put any plants in yet or finished the edging.
A pair of mallards appeared early one morning too. Apologies for picture quality, but it was taken through the window to avoid flushing the birds.

Ashy Mining Bees - a lovely little grey and white bee which I observed nuzzling into the soil deep down in the grass. Not rare, but the first time I've seen one and identified it.
