Thanks mark
Just checked that grey object and can only guess that it may be the left overs of a previous egg lay by something else- it's natural whatever it is.

Thanks John,
Had to look it up- they do live in foul water as rat-tailed maggots similar to drone fly larvae. The water in this barrel is pretty foul- It has cleanings from my pond filters in it- I use it for feeding plants.

Super shots Brian - I collected my hover book last week and it does say in there that they can lay in aphid colonies, pond-side mud, rotting vegetation or dead wood. So, looks like you are going to have a nice continuing flow of hovers in your garden
