Could the really fast ones be Hairy-footed Flower Bee? Small - females Black, Males gold. They go for Pulmonaria.

Happy Chinese New Year - a little late but my Fire Horse was inspired by a pony I met on Ashdown Forest so it can't keep up with the bigger ones!

While waiting for Boots to open, I sketched the old signal box at Uckfield Station. Colours added later. #Urbansketching

That's lovely. Thank you for encouraging us while ##DrawingDiggingForBritain- it helps me see so much deeper.

Wendy Tagg @wendytagg.bsky.social · 06/02/2026

I thought that was astounding. Such layers of history.

Nearly missed tonight's #DrawingDiggingForBritain - fascinated by the analysis that showed that a stone hand tool was used for grinding tin.

Artefacts including stone hand tool and Roman swords.

Thank you. Ferns are one of my favourite things. The ones that came out of the mine are so like the ones in our garden.

Absolutely blown away by the fossil fern remains and intrigued by the iron-age dogs #DrawingDiggingForBritain

Drawings of Roman Stylus, prehistoric fossil fern and tree, paw print on tile etc.

With malted grain and a barrel hoop from the oldest whisky maker in the world, today's #DrawingDiggingForBritain had a bit of a theme going on!

My @RSPB #BigGardenBirdwatch is done. Fewer small birds because I am not using feeders this year but an absolute pleasure to see 6 Blackbirds and a Song Thrush raiding the little Crab Apples from our tree. Uckfield, Sussex.

Drawings of Woodpigeon, Blackbird and Thrush with list of birds.

The scabbard was stunning - and I could just see the guys smoking away while throwing dice and drinking beer.

#DrawingDiggingForBritain I gasped when they slid the Roman bone box lid open. I could imagine the Roman lady or her servant using the ointment that was thought to be inside.

So much to see in tonight's #DrawingDiggingForBritain - Athough the Carnyx and Boar's head standard were magnificent, my favourite find was the wooden ladder at Sizewell.

Drawings of iron Carnyx, boards head; Wooden ladder, stone kiln etc.

Thank you. It's an enjoyable challenge and I enjoy seeing deeper as other drawings and photos emerge.

I had assumed that these early ones were from the channel islands but the Cornwall daffs are obviously ready.

Wendy Tagg @wendytagg.bsky.social · 08/01/2026

It was strangely touching seeing the young skaters getting involved.

Wendy Tagg @wendytagg.bsky.social · 08/01/2026

Thank you. I've promised myself that I will try and make a comb pattern. I thought the variety of finds really shows the sophistication of the people's lives

Wendy Tagg @wendytagg.bsky.social · 08/01/2026

I was amazed. It looks so delicate.

Wendy Tagg @wendytagg.bsky.social · 07/01/2026

Thank you. Drawing really makes me look at the artefacts.

#DrawingDiggingForBritain Really enjoyed capturing some of the artefacts shown in this North West episode.

I wonder if that's where my Tesco daffs came from.

I think it is a mixture of the "heat island" effect and soil disturbance where building or other works are going on.

After a dusting of snow, I threw some bird food onto the grass and retreated inside. Naturally, the Blackbird was first to arrive. #12dayswild

Mum got me this one for Christmas 3024. This is the brand - she must have got it from a catalogue.

Wendy Tagg @wendytagg.bsky.social · 01/01/2026

I get good results in all sorts of odd places - supermarket car parks, industrial estates etc.

Wendy Tagg @wendytagg.bsky.social · 01/01/2026

I'm home and warm again. I got the same number of species as last year and have written some notes. Next step is to enter my records. uckfieldwildlife.blogspot.com/2026/01/new-...

I enjoyed a chilly Uckfield (Sussex) #NewYearPlantHunt - I found a total of 35 species, the same as last year. The stars of the show were a frosted Pineapple weed, a large patch of Sweet Violets and Oscar the cat. uckfieldwildlife.blogspot.com/2026/01/new-...

I found this White-lipped Snail tucked in beside a log. It appears to have a "door" across the mouth of it's shell so I'm guessing it is still "at home". I've put it back where I found it. #12dayswild late - forgot #

Our Oak, aka the Sussex Weed, has had a bumber crop of acorns. I've cleared about 11,000 so far to maintain balance in the garden and there are still plenty left for garden visitors. #12dayswild
