Fab pic as always Georgie  :)

I love them but why oh why do they buzz within 1cm of your nose? :)

They have tested my patience this last week or so when ive been trying to have a well deserved minute in the garden chilling...lol

Love them, especially the ones where their legs hang down and swing as they fly about. Wonderful.
