Here are two flies that I photographed in the garden.. One, actually both are rather strange. Robber fly. ( photo / image / picture from Kildale's Garden ) Thick-headed fly ( photo / image / picture from Kildale's Garden )
OK I give up!! I'll never be able to take photographs like yours so there's no point in me chasing flies any more. Anyway the neighbours are beginning to wonder why they hear me muttering and swearing to myself every time I'm in the garden.
