The title Hover Sunday doesn't quite roll off the tongue as nicely as Fence Friday , but it does describe the creatures in today's series. This female Ruby Throated Hummingbird and Clearwing Hummingbird moth were both seen in my garden in Aug 2015.
A couple more images of the Eastern Spinebills hovering as they fed on the flowers of the bottlebrushes.
Taken a few days ago during my latest birding session at Hunter Wetlands Center (Shortland, NSW; Australia) with good friend and fellow flickr tog Joe Micallef.
I particularly like the wing position here!
Hope you like these too!
Thanks for any comments, views or favorites - always appreciated!
Have an awesome day and week everyone!
Hoverflies, sometimes called flower flies, syrphid flies, or sweat bees 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 eat a wide range of foods. In some species, the larvae are saprotrophs, eating decaying plant and animal matter in the soil or in ponds and streams. In other species, the larvae are insectivores and prey on aphids, thrips, and other plant-sucking insects. (wiki)

He just hovered around holding on, funny stuff. If you zoom in you can see it better, they were only around a 1/4 inch in size.
This little guy found an interest in hovering nearby me just long enough for me to get a chance to capture it the air.

The dawn of hover vehicles took place just before the Lazarus Flu had become a global pandemic. Thanks to a flood of investment, the vehicles were commonplace along the Silk Road countries and when the infection arrived, these vehicles were adapted for survival. Militant groups took to them for their potential as mobile weapons platforms, and Scimitar was no exception.
This vehicle took much longer than it should have, but I have to say I'm actually finally happy with a vehicle I've built. I really like the hover aspect to this, let me know what you think! People I've asked for advice, ranted to about this, or used products from are tagged. Thanks!
