My first bee-fly at last!

Been trying to get a shot of one of these for weeks, but never found one sitting still for long enough. Until this one literally landed at my feet this morning...

I only ever see one or two a year in my garden so don't get much opportunity to photograph these. You have done a great job I think

Nice shots, it's a scary looking thing with that sword stuck on the front end!!

Well done. Looks like it was worth the wait. First time I saw these was last year and still to get a shot of them.
