A visit to Blaencaerau after work on the last day of July gave me my 100 species of hoverfly for the year in Eristalis rupium. When I started recording back in 2015 this site was the furthest south in Great Britain that it had been recorded. It has slowly moved south since then and is now regularly recorded in Devon and Cornwall. Only 22 species recorded today mostly commoner species with Meliscaeva cinctella (55) winning the battle for most numerous species over Eristalis pertinax (40).
