European Bee-Eater birds (Merops apiaster) - colorful but very small and very far, so cropping was a must.

European hoverfly (Eristalis tenax), also known as the drone fly (or "dronefly"). The last picture was taken with a Hoya +4 close-up filter in front of the lens (no crop). Not exactly the best quality for macro photography but the best portability in the absence of a dedicated macro (1:1) lens.
