A half-hearted spin round the usual park route produced just one P. hemiptera. Masses of unidentifiable diptera, hymenoptera etc on virtually every piece of umbellifer but pretty much zero on Hemp Agrimony and Ragwort. Best was Chrysotoxum festivum which flew in, landed and was gone before I could get the camera up to the eye - a year first.
Eriothrix rufomaculata and Common Blue.
