Took a trip to Garston Wood to check on the state of the flowers etc. Cold April (9 degrees) with a strong wind and overcast. So took only my MPE-65mm around, hoping to find some bug life. There was little showing – probably due to the cold.
However I did find a bluebell to shoot ( yellow background is a piece of card – in this and two of the fly shots).

Then I found a fly on a bluebell, which handily stayed around and posed. Not sure if it is a fly or hoverfly.
