I too initialy thought this was a bee but was assured by the ‘experts’ that it is indeed a Hover Fly.

If somebody can tell me how to take a better picture at night, he is welcome, because I’m trying all the set up of my camera, but can’t get a good picture

Looks like the Little Owl ??? We have one living at the back of the church, just across from us…
Oh it is a Little Owl Stella, but the light prevents B’ having a decent shot of it, in these light conditions, frustrating for Her!
My camera has more or less given up the ghost, so I understand her frustration. I am working on OH… he hardly ever used his camera… 
I think Kingfishers are beautiful birds… of course I’ve seen them in my bird books, but I have only ever seen one in the wild. I caught a flash of colour when we were passing near a local river/stream… so asked OH to turn the car around for another look. We drove slowly back and found this lovely bird quite happily darting about and skimming over the water… We sat quietly and watched it for a few minutes… magic. 
On subsequent drives, we saw it again… but only for that one Summer… perhaps it didn’t like being the centre of attention…

Not uncommon round here Stella, but not so many photo opportunities like this afternoon.
