Mini-beasts caught my eye for an hour or so this afternoon as nothing much else was playing ball. These flies were variously sitting about on the sunny (south) side of the Ash, Oak and Cherry trees in our little woodland patch. I would not want one in my soup but they do make for fascinating subjects to practice my macro photography on as for the most part they are not too skittish if you take your time to get into position.
I had my lunch when I encountered this group of flies helping themselves to a feast of bird poo which had landed on the tree trunk. Everything has a purpose!
These next two images put me in mind of a Cadbury's cream egg... How do you eat yours?
