A nice friendly Hover :)

I know, another hoverfly but they make nice subjects and I'd rather take another Hoverfly shot than none at all.

This friendly Hover landed on the barrel of my 105 just after this was taken. Pity I didn't have another camera to capture the moment

I love these little Hoverflies too, hope we get a few this summer.
The flower looks a little over exposed to me?

Your little friend has lovely markings on it's back .... Skippy
