First hovers....

... plus loads of honeybees  and a few bumbles, either B. terrestris or
lucorum(agg) and a few diptera in the Bishop's Garden on a very sunny but cold and windy day. The insects were taking advantage, mostly, of Vibernum.
Birdwise just a curious Goldcrest in one of the conifers.
The hovers were all females and either E. balteatus or M. auricollis; unsurprisingly nothing more interesting.
