Thank you Master P. Sainte-Laudy for not killing me yet, for the use and abuse of your wonderful textures.
When I get rich I promise, I'll pay you for all the trouble caused.
I generally prefer shooting butterflies and bees in the lantana, but the dipterans can be intresting too - Happy Fly Day Friday!

This is a very large hoverfly. It's body is about 3 cm long. I finally found it it a Tiger bee fly. It feeds on nectar and despite it’s size it’s harmless as an adult. However it’s larvae are parasites and feed on carpenter bee hatchling.
It is probably a courtship ritual of common drone fly

Es handelt sich wohl um ein Balzritual der Scheinbienen-Keilfleckschwebfliege

Back for a bacon roll at Earlswood Lakes/Ponds and there were plenty of swans about on the Lower Pond ( quite a few on the upper but far out numbered by a mass of squabbling gulls ) . Anyway , on the way back to the car I just caught a glimpse of a swan heading my way and off course a grab shot or three ended up with out of focus and/or chopped off bits from the frame and then it turned to the right heading back to the Pond and this time I got it about right for this last shot .
( Please look at this large to see the feathers best )
The Fly Agaric, Amanita muscaria, is a hallucinogen and must be considered poisonous. These attractive fungi often appear in groups and are a common sight in all kinds of woodlands.
A Fly Agaric at Cross Hills Gardens near Kimbolton - unusually there were very few of these around unlike other years when I have visited and been spoilt for choice!
A very versatile lens - trees, planes, birds and now fungi!
