I don't know if this is a Hoverfly or just a fly that hovers if you know what I mean. It hovers in the same place and then veers off at an angle at the speed of sound and then hovers again.
Watching a kingfisher perched on a branch at the side of the River Thames next to Wallingford bridge, I was surprised when rather than dive from that vantage point it flew sideways and up, hovering 5m above the water before diving. All this within a few metres of the bridge with traffic passing by.
When I was taking photos of the daisies a hover fly landed on the English Plantain (I think!) so I photographed the fly instead (not sure if it counts as fauna?)
The siblings have progressed from wing flapping to actually hovering for up to 15 seconds above the nest. They are ready to fledge, which they will do in the next couple of days.
Pretty hover-fly drinking nectar from a flower. Although hover-flies look like wasps they are actually flies and do not sting or bite.
Hoverflies, sometimes called flower flies.They are often seen hovering at flowers. 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. Some live in the nests of social insects of ants, termites or bees; in decaying vegetation, fungi or rotting wood.In Thailand have 50 species.

A small hover tank, popular among mercenaries, with a very versatile design. Its fast pulse lifts and light armor make it highly maneuverable, and its communications array has a range of over 20 miles.
