While getting ready to mow my lawn last week I heard an amazingly loud
persistent buzzing in the grass beside my mower. On getting down on my
knees and looking closer I found two bumble bees, one clasped on top of
the other....both bees were buzzing loudly, the lower bee at a slightly
higher pitchand to my great surprise I realised I was witnessing (or
think I was) bees mating. The process went on for 2-4 minutes before
they separated and flew away - long enough for me to run inside, get my
camera and take several photographs. Is it common to see such a sighting?
The other out of the ordinary event was the appearance on my road two
days ago of a doe and three young fawns, one of which is a totally white
albino. A neighbour managed to snap a quick blurry photo.
