Have been laid up in bed for two days with a bout of flu, but took a walk round the garden today for some fresh air. Also wanted to get some photos of my Snake's Head Fritillaries. Was surprised by the number of ladybirds, but how nice to see.

#37 Small for 111 pictures in 2011 group.

Not sure what type of fly this is.

Soldier fly Chorisops tibialis. Spotted a small cloud of flies about 12 foot above the ground next to the shrub I see these flies on. Decided to try and net one to find out what it was and it turned out the be one of these soldier flies.
