Hannah Stitfall and Billy Clark review ‘Winter Flies’  from the Living World archive.

In their latest selection from the Living World archive, wildlife filmmaker Hannah Stitfall and wildlife film researcher Billy Clark discover what happens to flies in winter.

Where do flies go in winter and what happens to them? Wildlife filmmaker Hannah Stitfall and wildlife film researcher Billy Clark review another selection from the Living World archive to try and find out the answer. The original programme was recorded beside an icy pond in a woodland near Kidderminster where, with the help of pooters and ‘ghostbuster gear’, a surprising number of flies are discovered in winter including the stunning-looking dollies, best known for their metallic green sheen and long dancing legs!
