Bee Fly in Flight (+PiP)

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.
