Lucky positioning. I hope the air traffic controller, presumably you, did not let them depart too soon !

Thanks for the comments. The flies were sitting on a stinging nettle leaf in a light beam in an otherwise shaded area.

Nice find, & a bit on the creepy side, too. Reminds me of "The Birds". I wonder what Hitchcock would have made if he'd seen that first? ; D

Awesome :)

I have never seen that many flies on one leaf. Generally they seem quite selfish with their sunning spots

I've not seen this behaviour before either. I did wait to see if they were going to take off as a squadron but they didn't.

Flies will sometimes do that around here in fall if sunning positions are limited, but I don't think I've seen that many of them in one spot like.

I couldn't work out what had attracted them to the shady area in the first place. There were lots of sunny areas in the gardens
