Super Flies

Loads of flies sunning themsleves on fence posts etc at Croft Hill yesterday, plus a good number of hoverflies on flowers and shubbery - here's a selection .....

Anthomyia procellaris, characteristically feeding on bird shit

Calliphora vicina

Tachnia fera Probably Face Fly (Musca autumnalis)

Volucella pellucens Leucozona lucorum (knew this didn't look right somehow, and completely missed that it was this smaller similar species which I haven't seen before)
