Hoverflies

This Summer I have been trying to photograph and identify as many hoverflies as I can find in my local park in North London. The diversity is amazing, all together I have seen about 20 different hoverfly species, yet this is a tiny proportion of the 276 species which have been found in Britain.
Here are some of my favourites:


Xanthogramma pedissequum



Syrphus ribesii



Eristalis horticola



Cheilosia pagana



Episyrphus balteatus
