This is the 2nd kingfisher that we've seen hovering as it hunts. I captured one not too long ago but it was much further away. This one was a tad bit closer and I could make out that this is a male.
Hover fly (I think) in the garden.
A bit of macro practice with my new toy - a Sony A65VL camera!!

Saw this kestrel hovering in the last light as I set up for badgers. Quite impressed that I could get this handheld at 600mm equivalent. Testament to the Olympus E-M5ii's image stabilisation.
Hoverfly (Eupeodes nitens) hovering, the outline of the wings is barely visible.
Correction, as commented by BA Coastal this appears to be an Eupeodes luniger.
Hoverflies, sometimes called flower flies or syrphid flies, 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. 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.
