#sunlight

At lunchtime, there was plenty of #sunshine and #birds were visiting the #garden in steady waves.

#Sparrows and other smaller birds use the #BirdFeeder, sometimes occupying several of the perches simultaneously. But this one was solitary.

#Pigeons feed off the ground and are often seen at the base of the bird feeder. However, this one was walking along the garden #fence.

Finally, here are the same #roses I photographed a few days ago except that this time they are in direct #sunlight rather than under grey skies.

It's the hottest day of the year so far with shade #temperatures nearing 30°C. In direct #sunlight it's a lot hotter of course. While #cycling recently, I've can feel #insects bouncing off my face quite regularly. I'm sure they just then go on their merry way. Another advantage of wearing some #sunglasses or other eye protection means that they don't strike one's eyes. (Admittedly, last summer I did encounter a freak situation where a #bee got stuck in between the sunglass lens and my eye but no real harm was done to either animal.)
