Spring is creeping up on us despite the colder turn in the weather.

I had my first record of a small tortoiseshell outside last Friday
(20th) – we had had a couple inside in the two weeks before that but
no outside flying ones.

This afternoon I had a bumblebee investigating cracks in our garden
wall.
(Murdo – I didn't get a very good view and couldn't find it again but
it was 2 wide space yellow and a white tail.  I wondered about
B.terrestris?

Heather had a chiffchaff singing at Tarlogie this morning.  It is the
one place around here where chiffchaff are regular.

We also had the quickest of glimpses of a bumblebee - I couldn't
identify it but just registered that it flew past - sorry Murdo.

I have had 3 reports of Small Tort., and the same of Peacock so far.  Times have changed since I saw my first Highland Peacock in 2003!

Your bee will more likely have been cryptarum (the commonest of the lucorum-group here).  B. terrestris queens are very dark, with a brownish collar and brown tail.  Both have been on the wing in the past week.
