That's lovely. Great photo. In Welsh, that breed is a Cacwn Tingoch, which literally translated means Red-Arsed Bumblebee. Biology would be much more fun taught in Welsh!

Thanks.
Yep, I often call them red-arsed bees, although officially red-tailed.
Another that springs to mind is Wheatear, which was "white arse" owing to the birds white rump that is very visible as it flies away!
