Last day of the long weekend was spent walking round my local patch. Weather was cloudy most of the time with brief intervals of sunshine. I recorded 22 species of hoverfly in noticeably smaller numbers. Highlights being Eristalis intricaria (m&f), Helophilus trivittatus (2) and Sericomyia silentis (11). Eristalis tenax (48) was the commonest species. Nothing else unusual in the insect world.
