Some winter hovers

[LordV]

Found two hoverflies enjoying a little bit of sun (and some sugar/honey/spirullina mix). Episyrphus balteatus and Syrphus ribesii.

Thanks for the comments all :)

Linda - I don't tend to see these unless I bait them. Still waiting for the neighbours winter flowering shrub to bloom to act as a natural attractant :)
