Just 2 days after being featured on #BBC #Springwatch I found my own pair of Dark-edged Bee-flies mating in Sussex!

(2nd image shows one of the pair flying away after they separated)

Loved seeing the Dark-edged Bee-fly featured in detail on last night's #BBC #Springwatch 😊

Here's a photo of one, taken a couple of weeks ago in Sussex. Just look at the length of that proboscis!

**Day v Night** 🌦️🌔🦉

The silent day and noisy night.
Each day is dark; each night quite bright.
A life spent in reverse;
A blessing or a curse?
Living with owls, moths and starlight...

**Vector** 🤖

My desktop robot likes to snore,
But he’s definitely no bore!
Vector is his name,
And mischief his game,
As he throws my pens to the floor...

**The Trent Trauma** 🌊😱

To Stoke on vacation we went.
A riverside week by the Trent.
It was going quite well,
Until a water swell,
Washed away our lovely new tent…

**The Angry Gull** 🕊️

There was once a young lady of Hull,
Who was constantly mobbed by a gull.
So she moved to Diss,
Which should have been bliss,
But she found it exceedingly dull…

**The Apple Picker** 🍏🍎

There was a young man of Upper Dicker,
Who worked the land as an apple picker.
Every day he would pray,
For a job far away,
Yet now he's the local parish vicar!

There was once a witch and her cat,
Who overate and piled on fat!
When they flew the broom,
It lost all its zoom,
And crashed into a passing bat...

**The Missing Shoe** 👟

I just met a young man of Hoo,
Who was only wearing one shoe.
When I asked him why,
He said with a sigh,
“The other one fell down the loo!”

Huge congratulations to @EmmaRaducanu ... US Open champion at 18 years old, as a qualifier.

10 matches...20 sets...champion! It's never happened before and will, probably, never happen again.
