On the birds and the bees and a bunny

I have been inspecting these pollinators, busy at their work in our garden.  Have you ever sat and watched a bee busily dig in to a blossom?  Their legs slip as they struggle to grasp the surrounding petals and maintain a good hold.  My favourite visitor is a little yellow bird.  It sits on top of the wobbly sunflowers, eating the seeds and checking out the view.  Delicate and pretty. 

Sadly, a bunny has found our courgette crop and the only way I can rescue them for our dinner is by picking them when they're still tiny.  Sweet and yummy, but not the crop I was hoping for.
