Bee Fly in Flight (+PiP)

I was in my garden yesterday afternoon. Having spent some time this year trying and failing to get a Hoverfly in flight it was good to get this Bee Fly instead. I'm still going to try and get a Hoverfly, but I'm quite pleased with this in the meantime.

Just to prove it wasn't a fluke, there's another shot in the PiP! Best viewed large.....thanks for looking.

Super shot! We get mini bee flies that are tiny, cute but incredibly LOUD!

It's superb Keith, and the PiP! I managed to get a hoverfly picture about 5 years ago, which was pretty good, but I haven't managed it since. I must look it out. I'm sure you will succeed though :-)

A good focal length to clearly capture this bee fly. The frame keeping the rule of thirds. All the best, Anton.

Well done and with a beautiful bokeh thrown in! I don't think I'd ever have enough patience to even try;-)

Thanks Gudrun........much appreciated. It took me about an hour to get a couple of shots I was pleased with, so not too long.

I'm pretty sure it's "proper" name is Bombylius Major .

Trés belle prise. Au premier regard j'ai cru que c'était l'avion Anglais qui décolle verticalement (le Harrier je crois) C'est donc une "abeille Harrier". Amitié. Jean Paul

Ha, ha...........I wouldn't be able to get that close to a Harrier without being blown over!! I like the idea of a "Harrier Bee" though.

Glad you like it Jean Paul..........and thanks for commenting.
