Nomada bee
Finally after much frustration got some closeup shots of this little bee. Body length about 8mm ID'd as Nomada fabriciana.

Re: Nomada bee
Hiya Brian,
Excellent series of shots, I love #1, I've had one of these on my Camilia but can't get near it yet I've sat there for ages waiting but the slightest movement even four feet away & it's off. If your down this way over Easter call in for a cuppa you'd be most wecome. Cheers for now Mark

Re: Nomada bee
Great shot Brian. Were these taken with your Sigma 105mm? Great resolution.

Re: Nomada bee
Thanks for the kind comments all, think this is the only uk bee (apart from the other Nomada I've seen) that doesn't have uniform black eyes.
Almost got the impression they had given up trying to avoid me - managed to get close a few times. Brian V.
