Skull in the garden and Bee Orchids at the Paget

On Tuesday 3rd June, whilst digging the runner bean patch in the garden I discovered this skull, some 3.5cms long which I initially thought was a Greenfinch (a regular visitor to the garden) which turned out to be the skull of a House Sparrow (I have only seen 2 sightings of this species in this garden in 24 years!), my thanks to Daniel W and his girlfriend for the ID. Wednesday 4th June, there are now 14 flowers on the Bee Orchid plants at the James Paget Hospital, I have caged them all and watered them during this exceptionally dry spring. Here is the reward.
