At the height of summer insects are the main interest, the birds are a little quiet but Dragonflies and Damsels are abundant as well as interesting Hoverflies and Bees. Today it was hot! So armed with a variety of lenses I made my way first to the Exeter Canal in the hope of capturing some Damselfly portraits. Cow Parsley is a favourite food for lots of nectaring insects and is always a good place to be near if you want to see hoverflies. Today was quite good and I took just about my best ever “macro” photo
Also on the “parsley or at least near by was this Brindled Hoverfly, there were in fact several if not dozens and as they are very common to my garden as well I was not surprised.
