Hoverflies last couple of days

I recorded 12 species on Sunday, highest count this year. New for the year was Meliscaeva auricollis, Cheilosia chrysocoma, Syrphus torvus and Helophilus pendulus. Better sightings included 30 Parasyrphus punctulatus (a record count) and a female Cheilosia albipila. The Cheilosia chrysocoma was to quick to photograph but I did manage a record shot of Cheilosia albipila.
