Ha Ha ! - this very bad record shot is of the Western Bee-fly (new for valley) - also known as the bomber fly for its method of egg laying in the nests of Orange-legged Furrow Bee. This one was seen patrolling a sandy path looking for the nests of said Bee and was seen bombing on 2 occasions, once right by my foot, but it never landed or fed for a decent shot. They are much smaller than our regular Bee-fly species (B. major).
Pachytodes cerambyciformis - 19 seen today
Broad centurian - soldierfly
