This was tricky to photograph as they dont stay hover'ing in one place for very long.

As you said Alan, a tricky shot to take.
I like this a lot Alan, great subject, well detailed & loads of space, this for me makes this a great shot

Hi Alan
Nice shot - I like the fact that you're looking at the hoverfly from not too far off eye level. My attempts always seem to be lower, which doesn't really work for me.
