Tasty feast!
Hoverfly thingy...well a canny mind away back to last year lol
(Pardon the Scottish Accent)
Thank you Wendy. Do you want some? Have a few hundred or more I can give you.
Kind offer which I shall have to refuse but just be thankful you do have that many with insects in general being scarce so far this year ... look on the bright side, you could get a visit from a hungry Green Woodpecker!

An overdue update so a bumper collection today.
As always, ID corrections are welcome
A Helophilus [many thanks to Wendy Barter for the ID] getting a warm up from the granite stones
These guys haven't had a look in here for a while, still going strong, and enjoying the daily feed.
A rare sighting, a honeybee...
Looks like Helophilus, the Footballer in his striped shirt! Lovely pics & great to see Honey Bee feeding, not so many about here but doing well for bumblebees!
Bloody 'ell, that's a bit since. She must have been about eleven ...
Not seen this one before
Looks like one of these Linda ...
Pellucid Fly - Volucella pellucens

Thanks BD
A Green Bottle fly I think. Decided to go for a walk around the garden and see what I could photograph.
