Hoverfly

 Perched on some Ragwort Flowers. The yellow flower heads are highly attractive to Bees and other flying insects. There seems to be many more Hoverflies about this year. I have some Fennel in the garden and it is normally covered in these most of the time the sun is out. Insect life has increased this year at Ferrymoor. thanks to the fact strimming has been cut back to a minimum.
