Crane fly, No. 1 Line track


At the top of the No. 1 Line track this afternoon, several of these beautiful crane flies were bumbling about in the grasses near the seat. I'd given up on the idea of trying to photograph them because they refused to settle, but I'd no sooner resumed my scribbling and sipping tea than this one finally latched onto a grass stem.
