These seem to be visible in the bush in the mornings and evenings when it isn't quite so hot. Then they sit and fly among the sedges growing on the sand. Photo: stack of two made in Photoshop.fly ~1.5cm +/-
Sitting on the rock waiting for a fly. There were thousands (of flies). A robber fly landed on the bonnet of the car which had some "bush flies" sitting on it. It stayed long enough for a fly to take off, then flew and captured the fly mid air. Yay!! for the Robber fly.
