Hoverflies On Thistles

I spotted this congregation of hoverflies on some thistles whilst out on my walk this morning. Fortunately I had taken my 100mm macro lens with me, hoping to catch some butterflies - but, sadly, the few that I did see were not wanting their photo taken!

A day spent mostly catching up on some photo cataloguing and backing up  as things have got a bit out of hand in the last month as we have been shuttling up and down the country. I think. I have managed to keep up with reading / commenting!

Hoping that things will settle down in the next couple of weeks when Mrs madwill’s brother is discharged from hospital. We shall see….
