Hi folks, sorry about the delay.

There's some nice entries this week, although some of the borders are a bit wacky ;)

After looking through all the shots, I think S7000's shot is the winner. Getting one hoverfly in flight is tricky, never mind two! Were they mating?

Well done everyone though, keep up the good work!

Thanks guys. :lol:

Unfortunately this isn't a new photo though. I don't have the time I used to, or the garden either, so my fly shots are very minimal these days.

They were mating, which gave me a more of a chance to shoot them, they were staying very still for me.

New comp up tonight. :D
