Hoverfly I trapped on the kitchen window. Bribed with a honey drop for some shots before releasing outside. Assume it's Cheilosia sp.

Hoverfly, feeding on a chicory, is cautious when a metallic green bee approaches. These bees don't pose a danger to them, but I've seen a dragonfly snatch a small hoverfly right off the flower.
We went to Hoverfly after a series of visits to model shops looking for remote/radio controlled cars - a long term research project for birthdays and Christmas a long time off. We were redirected and filtered here by friendly men in shops stuffed to the gunnels with eccentric toys from all over the world. The shop has been open just over six months, it's full of pretty wonderful things that and boys and dads will LOVE. Trevor's the owner, incredibly helpful, friendly and accommodating. A genuine star. Go there and BUY STUFF!
