Another shot from the mall. There was a man standing to my right with a big tray of scrap food. These gulls were hovering in place, waiting patiently for him to put it down. I've been to the mall three times now and each time, someone drives up within minutes and feeds them. Timing is everything. :)

I was photographing these beautiful yellow flowers and suddenly there was this flying insect entering into the frame. I clicked almost like reflex action and didn't have time to really focus on it. Upon looking at the photo I found it's slightly out of focus, however I still decided to keep and post it cos I really like the 3D look of that wasp hovering in front of the flowers.
The nice thing about watching kestrels on the Cornish cliff tops is that while they are looking at the base of the cliffs they occasionally hover at your level.
This was taken at Pentireglaze near Polzeath.

Happy Wing Wednesday!
A bridge, a storm, a quiet joy. Come sit with me in the in-between.

Our back yard is just mad with Anna's Hummingbird activity. And they've been going through a lot of sugar water. I say, "hovering in line" in the title. In reality, this guy was hovering waiting to attack any other hummingbird that dared to come near. Its really quite amazing to watch. This shot won't win any bokeh awards, but I do like the details of my little hummer friend

I adore hoverflies Not keen on flies but when flies evolved into these beautiful creatures something beautiful occurred! They are superb aeronaughts and predators and yet so benign. On many a lazy summer afternoon these friendly beasts hover in favourite spots.
They are my insect heroes !

I've enjoyed another full day digging and strimming at the allotment. I normally take my p&s with me to take a few before and after photos but today I took my DSLR and captured this little fellow enjoying himself on the lavender.
these insects are quite tiny, about 5 or 7mm long, and the beauty of them is only visible when enlarged. They are very beneficial in the garden as they eat aphids and they are great pollinators as well. This one is nicely matching the yellow Canola flower.
I could have picked many more, beautiful female Kingfisher hovering whilst catching shrimps at Montrose.
