Re: Ah, Pollen Feast!

Thanks Steven, much appreciated, emoticon

I was on the German island of Rügen (in the Baltic) and they have a very diverse hoverfly population there. One just needs to gather a few cornflowers and large daisies from the verges, put them in a jar in the sunshine, wait a few minutes and then a myriad of photo-opportunists will arrive!
