Feasting on the heather

An intended shot of a lowgrowing clump of heather in our backgarden yesterday for the April challenge "The ground I walk on" surprised me with this busy bee who paid a visit. As a result I got my Thursday challenge shot also.

For other harmless shooters of mini-beasts see today's Thursday challenge here
