I have been using the Phonescope attachment I bought from the RSPB.
Both the sundew and butterwort are about to flower at the moment. Each is sending a long stalk into the air to attract insects. Meanwhile, lower down, the plants continue to catch flies in their leaves and so getting the best of both worlds.

There is lots of new growth in the sundew. It is lovely to see the light catch on the leaf edges as the leaves unfurl.

The cucumber plant is growing apace and tendrils are beginning to appear. It won't be long now before I can take some time lapse of them coiling round the bamboo support.

It is amazing how much detail can be seen. The hooks on the hind wing of the honey bee are clearly visible.

Finally, a "guess what"!
