More visitors to the beech section of the hedgerow in our Staffordshire garden.

This is a favourite invertebrate warming-up spot. An interesting selection of diptera included. The individual top row, second left I don't recollect ever seeing before! Any suggestion on likely ID most appreciated; particularly for the diptera!

Some sort of bee?

Garden Wall, Guernsey, Channel Islands.

I set off well before 0900 to walk the initial bit of the dirt road. Though now fine the foliage was still very wet.

I had thought that this was a moth but I can not see ant antennae so it will probably be something else.

I do like the setting.
