It's been a very wet and sometimes windy start to 2026. So, it was good to have a dry and sunny day for once. I had a good look around Studland and the highlights were in the dunes at South Haven. Within a minute, I had seen and lost sight of my first Butterfly for the year: a Red Admiral. While I was trying to relocate the Red Admiral, I saw my first Buff-tailed Bumblebee walking around on the path in the dunes. I carefully moved it to the edge of the path, to reduce the risk of somebody following me and treading on this slugging Bumblebee. Spring feels like it is on its way.
