Hover Fly

Not anything of note going on round here this week. Yesterday's storms passed us by. Looks like being a wet day today.  Earlier in the week I was sorting out a problem with the pump on the water feature when a persistent hover fly kept getting in the way. They seem to be one of the most inquisitive insects, often hovering a few inched from my face. Maybe they can't quite believe what they are seeing.  This one kept landing on the plastic box of screws I was trying to use.



No matter how many times I shooed it away it returned to the same spot to give its eyes a thorough wash and brush up.
