    What is it, Sis? You must have stopped screaming long enough to find the camera and take the photo! :D

    Fighting flies!!! They were really going at each other and buzzing up a storm. The one would jump on the other and were dishing it out left, right and center. When they finally flew off they were still at it in the air.

    A badly injured butterfly. He kept coming back to sit on a courgette leaf or the mini tomato greenhouse, and once he even landen on my shoulder but then noticed his mistake and took off again. Due to the battered wings you could hear him coming from at least 5 meters away.

    If it was, it wasn't mine! Hubby says it was probably a bird. It was strange, he kept flying away and always coming back.

    Excellent, Sis ... I do like the four bees lunching together. Reminds me of my Crowded House pic. [​IMG]

    Well done, dearest ... I give up before then or they b*ggar off elsewhere ... but as you rightly say you were rewarded with a beautiful photo ... and I love the background, my sort of leaves and colours and they look almost fake ... probably due to all the rain ... :D
