Bilberry flowers and a Heath bumblebee, Bombus jonellus this afternoon at Old Lodge Nature Reserve, East Sussex, UK

 Bilberry flowers are very pretty at this time of the year.
 They were being enjoyed by a Heath bumblebee worker, which had collected a good load of pollen.

 At least it looks like a Heath Bumblebee, Bombus jonellus and because of the time of year and location -- a high dry(ish) heath, it probably is!  These photo's are not quite good enough to be definitive.  Click on any picture to expand it,
