Beautiful as usual. Don't know how you can get such crisp focus on those in flight ones?! But I also really love #2.

Thanks Greta for the comments.
With the in flight shots I tend to use fixed focus and try to track the hoverfly whilst taking shots when it comes in clean focus. Not always successful of course
