A walk round Caerau on Sunday just before the rains came in got me 26 species. Highlights included 3 more new for the year in Platycheirus granditarsus, Melanogaster hirtella and Chalcosyrphus nemorum. Other species seen were Platycheirus tarsalis, Cheilosia fraterna and Merodon equestris. The most numerous hoverfly was Melanostoma scalare (35).
