Blowfly

[soundbyte]

I was walking around our West Coast and saw this fly looking like it was sat on this grass stalk.

Took a couple of photos and thought it unusual that it had not flown off.

A few minutes later I was very curious as to why it had not moved, I turned it over and found it was staked onto the grass stalk!

Never seen anything like this before or since.

Loggerhead Shrikes (Butcher Birds) impale food on sharp objects...saving it for later, I presume. Great photo!
