This week's #WildflowerHour challenge is one of my favourites - #PollinatorPals. Take a photo of a wild flower with an insect on it. Dead easy, right?

This weekโ€™s challenge is #PollinatorPals! Find a flowering wild or naturalised plant with a pollinating visitor & snap away. Of course itโ€™s not just about bees! Butterflies, moths, wasps, flies & beetles can be #pollinators too! Share your pics for #Wildflowerhour Sunday 8-9pm ๐Ÿชฒ๐Ÿฆ‹๐Ÿชฐ๐Ÿ

Dunscombe Bottom, a lowland chalk hillside nature reserve (Wiltshire Wildlife Trust) is bursting with wildflowers now. Common Spotted-orchids everywhere (no photo here). Standouts for me this week were Dropwort, a few Chalk Fragrant-orchids, and Fairy Flax.
