Day of The Flies

It was a day of fly macros on an end of April visit to Blashford Lakes.  I failed to find or take anything else of interest on the visit.

However flies are far from boring when seen up close…

From the sawflies.

To a more common housefly.  The last one being my favourite shot of the lot.  It is at 5x magnification on my Canon MPE-65mm 1-5x macro lens.
