| Strange fly
Hello,
I found a baby dove that had afllen out of the dovecot the day before yesterday, so I picked it up to put it back in.
A strange fly immediately started buzzing around my face and I tried to bat a it away.
A few minutes later, I felt something crawling in my sleeve and when I investigated there was a fly of a type I had not encountered before.
It is dark brown in colour with short flat body and widespread legs. It did not seem to want to fly much, preferring to scuttle around on my body. It was hard to shake off, and coukd scuttle sideways or forwards and backwards with equal ease.
Can anyone tell me whast sort of fly it might be, please?
(And was it related to the bird, or was that co-incidence?)
Thank you. |
