Asked by City Daily Photo to post my favourite photo from the year just ended I pondered for a while but in the end it had to be this close up of a tree bumble bee enjoying the nectar of a burdock flower. These bees were first spotted in the UK as recently as 2001 but are now quite common, they've even nested under my kitchen roof and, of course, they are most welcome.
