The fatsia plant in the garden, which is in bloom at the moment, was swarming with different sorts of flies this afternoon, so I had a practise with the macro lens, on a tripod.
I'm not sure if this is a hover fly - would appreciate positive ID -
UPDATE:- its a Dronefly, which is a type of Hoverfly - many thanks to Alistair (alliec) for the ID
