⭐️Thank you in Advance for your kind ‘Faves’ Visits and Comments they are so very much appreciated. 👍
I cannot always ‘Thank’ everyone individually, for their Visits and ‘Faves’ however, I will always try to respond and thank all those that leave a ‘Comment’. If I do not reply to your 'Comment', it is not because I am ignoring you, it's because I have not seen the 'Comment'.
Your 'Comments' do not always appear in 'Notifications' or Flickr mail, so, I am sorry for any delay in responding. Often your 'Comment' is only spotted 'On the Page' on the day, that I see it. (seen ONLY when replying to someone HAS 'Commented' on the image, and I see a notification)
Not going to try to guess species from this angle... it had turned cloudy, making it rather more approachable!
Haston Grove - Shropshire
Cheilosia pagana most likely! Thanks to Eric and Bernhard for the ID help!
This eastern band-winged hoverfly spent most of its time hovering in and around the plant, but lit briefly in a flower to pick up a little pollen.,,
Walking along the field edge at Rodney Stoke NNR and didn't have to look too hard to spot this hoverfly. Being black and yellow, they make absolutely no effort to conceal themselves like many other hoverflies.
Best viewed very large.

Hoverfly, approximately 8mm in length. I believe that this is an anemone flower - they are usually white, but can occur in pink and magenta shades. Hoverflies favor anemone plants and aid in propagation.
Early morning.
and yet another perspective of the hoverfly.
At that moment I must have disturbed her at breakfast. But she still let me take my photos.
This hoverfly got caught out by the warm, sunny weather on Sunday morning. When the weather turned cold, I found it exhausted on the washing line (that's why there's a couple of cotton fibres on it). I warmed it up on my hand for a bit and put it down on a flower but the changeable weather in Autumn and Spring can be rough on insects.
