It is one of the lesser-known side effects of having fluorescent pink hair, that when you go for a walk in the woods, an assortment of bees may attempt to extract pollen from your head.
Thankfully I am not allergic to bee stings, and I am a huge fan of bees generally, so I don't mind if they land on me. :)
This little fellow was far too busy foraging inside the iris to pay any attention to me:
But this guy?
When he was done with the rhododendron, he decided that my hair looked tasty. This bee was massive - a good inch and a half long. It's quite difficult not to be frightened when a bee this big wanders about on your head, but he got bored and flew away quickly enough.
I also saw several ducks:
While I was photographing the coot, Mrs Mallard sneaked up behind me and stuck her head in my handbag!
