Hover Flies are one of the most recognizable of all flies due to their wasp or bee like appearance and their skill at hovering. The Hover Fly which feeds mainly on nectar and honeydew has an important role as a plant pollinator and pest controller, but with 6000 species I won't attempt to name the one above.

Romsey Abbey - St. Mary and St. Ethelflaeda. The original wooden church was built in 10th century by Benedictine nuns, the rebuilding started in 1120 and continuing for over a hundred years, today the abbey is considered to be one of the finest Norman buildings in England. The oldest item in the Abbey is a Saxon crucifix which dates from the year 1000AD.
