Eristalis pertinax - Tapered Drone fly.
I found this very helpful for identifying hoverflies, British ones in particular.

I was wanderging around my neighbour's garden when this strange insect landed. It looks a little like a hover fly, but the eye is something that I haven't seen before. These are full frame photos and not cropped. The last photo shows that the fly is the size of a hover fly but a bit more chunky. Thank you Darrel for your ID.

Bit of a garden safari and all I found that stood still long enough was this fly! Starting to get the hang of my Elicar macro lens and ring flash.
Though it was about time that I put up a macro seeing it is getting that time of the year. Macro is not really my thing and I am very much a novice but it passes the time when the birds get scarce on the estuary. I hope this shot passes the Flickr safety levels for porn lol

Im not sure if its just me, but i think flies are strangely beautiful when you see them close up!, another taken with a reverse 17-40. best viewed full size on black, thanks again ;-)
This might be my last image for a while, until flickr sorts its problems out, since the new layout I'm finding, like thousands others its almost impossible to upload photos, its a fantastic platform for sharing and storage, i just wish they would leave it alone, I'm really not liking the new white background too !
