At last a day when the wind wasn't blowing the plants around, there was decent heat, and it brought out some of the insect species that had been missing so far. Earlier in the week I'd seen a third Hummingbird Moth this year, and I hope that an Elephant Hawk Moth seen seen last year left behind some new ones.
Usual caveat, ID's are best efforts
Common Flower Bug Anthocoris nemorum, this bug is only 4mm long, and it looks less than that
Grey-banded Mining Bee Andrena denticulata
Early Mason Wasp Ancistrocerus nigricornis
Gwynne's Mining Bee Andrena bicolor
Migrant Hoverfly Eupeodes corollae
Pied Hoverfly aka White-bowed Smoothwing Scaeva pyrastri
Buff-tailed Bumblebee
Anthomyiidae indet
Broad Centurian Chloromyia formosa
I thought the Magpies might stop visiting my garden but I've been left with one adult and one of this years juveniles
