Typical, they all want the same flower ;-) A beautiful shot Doug and great bokeh background.
I haven't managed to get one hover fly lately let alone four!

All the best, Rosa.

I think there must have been 40-50 of them trying to get onto about 15 poppies. Thanks so much for your visit and kind comment Rosa.
