Hope you don't mind me kicking off this year's thread but these 2 were on the patio doors yesterday
Feel free to identify them as they are all flies to me ;-)
(Pardon the Scottish Accent)
I wonder if it's Mrs Queen Tree Bumblebee herself;-)
In the garden yesterday
I had to save this insect in my bird bath
2 of them. Greetings
It flys off and the other one stays.
It preened itself and then started warming
its wing muscles up and trying to get them going
it took a long time to get the wing muscles going but eventually it flew off
