Hoverflies of Myers Allotment. July 2017A wonderful morning looking at Hoverflies with Brian Hugo. After a very dull start the sun shone and the ragwort attracted many hoverflies and the occasional bee. Here are just a few of the photos. (the ones that aren’t out of focus.)Thank you Brian from Ken and Ann Kitchen.
