Just found this? ID required.

Saw one of these in my garden last week but as soon as i got close enough to take a shot, it took off.
Found this one just, and i only managed to get a couple of shots before this one also disappeared.

The second shot was taken with the Tamron 90mm at around 1:2. It was about 25mm in length, so not the usual small flies i'm used to taking shots of.


Uncropped.

Slight crop to the left.

Had a quick look on the net and your ID seems to be correct, cheers David.

I'm also pretty pleased with my photoshop attempt on the second shot. Had to add a little extra onto the shot, i take it nobody can tell which bit
