Curious behaviour of Fly on Rosebay Willow-herb

I noticed this curious behaviour back in July and assumed this fly was feeding off something on the surface of the leaves. Probably someone viewing this will know what's going on and leave a comment.

Sorry it's occasionally a bit blurred. In my enthusiasm I got too close for the camera to focus properly.

This web site is about the wildlife, particularly the mammals, of the Glen Affric National Nature Reserve area in the north west Highlands of Scotland, UK; and the equipment I use to search for them, which is chiefly trail cameras.

I provide a technical support and parts service for the Ltl Acorn range of cameras and the income from this provides for the upkeep of this site and the purchase of cameras for my own surveying.

I hope you find the site useful and informative; and please contact me if you have any questions that I haven't already covered.
