Have a nice day
A couple of hoverflies, who were at it for well over an hour - so hats off to Mr Hoverfly there. They were so busy, they didn't seem to be concerned with me setting up my mini tripod and sticking a camera up their noses. This is a focus stack of lots of shots taken in natural light.
Thanks for looking

Hoverflies are a vital and colourful part of a healthy garden. They are brilliant pollinators that are often overlooked. The larvae of many species feed on aphids while others are efficient nutrient recyclers, making a valuable contribution to a natural balance in gardens.
When out last week I noticed these Hoverflies around the dandelions on the road verge, I only had my faithful Sigma 17-70 with me, so bent over and popped a few shots off.

Found this mating pair of Hoverflies early this morning at Bishop's Hill in Warwickshire. I believe they are Syrphus vitripennis.
Eupeodes luniger is a moderate sized (average of 8mm length) Syrphid hoverfly with characteristic wasp-like yellow markings on the abdomen. In the case of E. Luniger these are obviously comma shaped and usually do not meet at the centre line of the abdomen, although in this variable species some individuals show markings that do meet and form spectacle shaped yellow patches. These markings do not reach the lateral edges.
This Hoverfly (Sphaerophoria scripta) has found a fragrant spot, on the petal of this rose.

Tried the old 180mm with R6II at Gamble Garden. A tripod would have been nicer as the lens is quite heavy compared to the camera.Somehow it worked better with 5D IV, or I am getting old :-)
Wildlife in winter taking advantage of the sunshine. One of a couple of hoverflies feeding on the remaining flowers of the "Mexican Orange"
The Hoverfly is Helophilius pendulus, also known as 'The Footballer' (because of its stripy thorax) and 'The Sunfly' because of its preference for sunny days, its scientific name strangely means 'Dangling Marsh Lover', but ......... What the heck is that little white creature the fly is looking at?????
I saw the Hoverfly on a leaf near Carr Mill Dam and quickly took the picture before it flew off. It was only when I checked the picture, when I got home, that I saw the tiny creature it was looking at, (at least I think it's a tiny creature, it certainly looks like one) but I haven't a clue what it might be. Not the best sharpness but not bad at all considering it was a fast shot taken with the Oly 75-300ii focussed on the fly. I really hope somebody can tell me what the white creature is, it is very tiny, I'm guessing only about 1cm long comparing it to the fly.
