Today I will show you "The Island", a refuge of wildflowers in a rather unpromising location.
A mass of ox eye daisy, with corncockle, cornflower, scabious and poppies thrown in, it is full of bees of all kids - today's special find was a buffish mining bee.
The air quality isn't so good though, as you might gather from a traffic island surrounded by two dual carriageways.
