Strike a pose: a syrphid fly stands poised on a cluster of parsley buds.
Just a syrphid fly for today. I hope everyone’s week is off to a good start.

Rain has stopped my Brown Hairstreak survey. Not happy! Back to work tomorrow. No doubt I’ll wake up to glorious sunshine.
I hope this week got off to a better start!
Weather has improved but I am still way too busy at work to get a day off. Hoping to get a minute to get out and look for a very rare Bush-cricket called a Wart-biter (Decticus verrucivorus) which has a sole colony here in Wiltshire.
That’s quite a common name. It sounds like a potentially exciting search, too. On the other side here, the sun is calling my name (and camera) today; we’re being blessed with some very nice late summer days. I just have to make some time to clear out some space on my nearly-brimming hard drive so I can get some new shots on it!
You can never have enough space. Enjoy the sun.
