There was a promise of Spring on the 17th March and I saw my first Ladybird of the season. Since then it’s turned colder and I’ve not seen anymore.

My first success capturing a bee in flight and in focus! Olympus 75-300 with an extension tube. I was surprised at how much wing blur there is, even at 1/5000s.

A great shot. Thanks for sharing. Onwards and upwards. I look forward to seeing your future successes.

A couple of flies from yesterday

ETA: Sorry about lack of exif data - I resized by downloading from my Flickr page and it’s removed it.

nice details, lovely. Its amazing how much pollen these little guys carry, Its a good thing they do not have hayfever… imagine bees zipping across in random direction as they sneezze…
