Not sure that it was big enough for a bumble bee,

Hi Don,

I can't say for OZ bugs, but according to Letts Pocket Guide to Insects (European) there are 26 species of Bumble Bee and 67 species of Mining Bees (which look like BB's -to me anyway)in Britain.

So I think you've got a very good chance that it's a BB of some sort

Thanks Bernard, this is a Brit pic as I am here for a while.

Our insects are just smaller, Don, you'll get used to it! It's a good shot.
