A round up from the past two weeks of things with wings – from the beautiful to the bizarre.
Including House Martins, ( the thrill of snapping pics of birds and then realising you’ve caught one in flight -albeit a bit blurry, is just great)
sparrows,
a soft-winged flower beetle,
something I’ve not identified yet but it had the longest antenna I’ve ever seen!
A peacock butterfly,
another photo where you could do with smell-o-vision – the hawthorn flowers smell lovely ( hawthorn flower and rhubarb wine – might just be on the cards again this year)
and a very bizarre looking fly that I’ve not managed to identify, any help would be gratefully recieved.

Lovely pictures again Sian – have you got a new camera? Some of those macro shots are amazing! Not sure on your mystery fly species, it might perhaps be a Rhingia sp. hoverfly which have long ‘noses’.
I think the swallow might be a house martin…
