While shooting a thistle shot, this little fella started buzzing around so I turned my attentions (and lens) on her (according to "afterforty").

Playing around with Macro at lunch. The flowers at Belfast's Botanic Gardens were buzzing with Hover Flies. I just had to wait for one to settle on the flower I had in focus.
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.

In the UK there are more than 250 species of hoverflies and over 6,000 worldwide.
Thats an awful lot of individual photographs you could take of this type of fly alone.
Happy weekend folks!

In our 4.5 days at Bosque del Apache in New Mexico, we actually saw a number of birds of prey, though mostly they eluded me. In fact, I was working on flying cranes when I saw this sweetheart hovering, so I turned around and relocated for a couple frames before she moved on.
Took this hand held with Fuji XE-2, Fuji 55-200mm and Raynox DCR250. Natural light. Reduced noise with Nik tools define.
See full res for comparison.
After 12 hours of work today, you'd think I'd come home and, oh, maybe rest, relax, nap... No, I parked the car in the garage, grabbed by camera and macro lens and proceeded to walk, crawl, lay all over my landscape for the next 2 hours capturing bugs, flowers, and beauty-- finishing with over 1,000 handheld captures :))
Since I've just started with these bugs and little creatures, I can't identify them very well, really. I believe this is a Hover Fly...
Shot close to the North side fence at Wattisham, this 3 regiment crew were in the hover for some time, slowly landing on the grass behind the mocked up revetment.

This series of three shots are of the same bird, I have photographed black tailed godwits many times before
but i have never seen them hovering like a kestrel!!
This particular individual would lift off the water fly up to a height of twenty feet and hover then drop back down and repeat the process again.
I can only think that this is a territorial or mating display.

I've seen a lot of amazing hummingbird photos around Flickr from some extremely talented photographers. (For example, check out Shepherd's photos!) I was getting frustrated with stalking hummingbirds in the wild, so I decided to try photographing them near my mom's hummingbird feeder instead. Unfortunately her feeder was in the shade, so the photos came out a little more grainy that I would have liked, but they're a step in the right direction.
