First Hoverfly of the year

[Paul Iddon]

Found this hoverfly warming up against the top of the fence in the morning sun.


First time this spring that I have seen any around the garden. I'm sure there will be plenty soon enough

You got a reflector Paul?...To shine some light back up on the subject and background. Although that's easier said than done if shooting handheld!
