Remains

For frida

I photographed this insect at stretton mill this morning and am unable to determine the species --is anyone able to help ?--a little more study since posting has suggested that it may be a form of the female blue tailed damselfly called rufescens-obsoleta, but I am by no means certain---subsequently confirmed --see below

Well I went looking for the tiny bees I found in the park the other day, couldn't see them anywhere, but I did find this pretty fly that alighted on a leaf for a few seconds for me to catch a shot. It is so shiny my outline is reflected in the blue of its back.....also, the blue sky, the green behind me, not very clear I know but still that is what it is!...hope someone can ID it. Little yellow face and great red eyes......PS. Wishing everybody a really Happy Christmas and New Year Season from our house to yours!!!
