Small cemetery bimble

I went to a little cemetery close to my house, because there are some tiny brown birds there that I would really like to photograph but they like to avoid me. I see now why @jayavery has a camera with a good lens on it!

Anyway I saw a bunch of other stuff, including some birds that were much braver than the tiny brown birds, and loads of common flowers and other plants. I will attach my favourites.

Description

I wanted to photograph and log these a few days ago but they were still buds and I thought they might be easier to identify as flowers!

Birds are wonderful to view, but they generally like to avoid people. It takes a very patient and quiet person to photograph them! Good job.

By the way, this must be in the UK.

@aaron294 I understand that you just joined and you are trying to settle in and you mean well and want to be encouraging and probably just want to make connections and enjoy yourself, but this was SUPER condescending. (Yes, you can see from the map associated with the observations attached to this post that I am in the UK, and it is known that birds are quite skittish, as I noted in the post.)

I did not mean to be condescending. I am very sorry.
