I finally managed to capture a Hoverfly in flight.

Hoverflies, also called flower flies or syrphids, make up the insect family Syrphidae. As their common name suggests, they are often seen hovering or nectaring at flowers; the adults of many species feed mainly on nectar and pollen, while the larvae (maggots) eat a wide range of foods.

Little floaty thing from today.

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. :)

 

EXPLORE #11

this was hovering over the runway

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.

Amazing how long this large hawk ( Rough Legged ) can hover while hunting...

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

Just moved into my field of view. Nothing more than luck.

Handheld fun with the 100mm macro, tricky catching these hover flies in flight at f2.8 but the harder it is the more rewarding the results.

The Kestrel has a unique way of hunting that sets them apart from other falcons . I watched this one hover about 10-20 metres above a spot in a farmer’s field for several seconds before swooping down on something below. He did not come back up with a meal as far as I could tell. However, he was amazing to watch and he was easier to capture with my camera because of this hovering behaviour. Although, it would have been great to have him facing me, I do love how you can see the graceful lines of his wings and tail in this image.

1/40 sec capture which proves how good kingfishers are at hovering this time it hovered for a good 4 seconds .

Just found this shot of a hovering Kingfisher at Brandon Marsh from last year. Not the sharpest photo ever, but it's at least a different sort of Kingfisher shot to the ones we see every day.

This little Hover Fly was taking a nap
