Langford Lakes

These macro photos were taken on a walk around Langford Lakes ( Wiltshire Wildlife Trust nature reserve).  There were lots of damselflies about and a good selection of bloody-nosed beetles on the nettles and bank side vegetation.  As well of these lots of bees actively flying and of course spiders and flies, so there was a lot to choose what to photograph.  The first victim of my lens, was a shot of a dung fly, with its dinner.
