And here's another unknown fly

Another unknown fly, this one around 1.5cms in length and squabbling with the other unknown fly over the thistle flowers

It nests like most solitary bees or wasp in this case, at one stage I lost sight of it and then I noticed it crawling out of the top of a bamboo pole. I then found out that they live in small holes in wood or in places like bug hotels. Also I knew it was Mexican ( here comes a Peter joke) because it had a sombrero on its head. Sorry.

What is this Fly?

Seen in numbers in Camberwell Old Cemetery - around 1cm in length, most of them returning again and again to the thistle flower

It did look a little bit strange, because it looks like it’s wearing one of those wrestling masks they sometimes use in south America Mexico for example 😂

Have I got this right?

I think this Bee, captured in flight at Eltham Palace gardens last week, is a Large Meadow Mining Bee (Adrena labialis), but I'm not 100% certain. Can anyone confirm, or correct my ID if I'm wrong?

Still not convinced, Michael.

Anyone remember what this Raptor at Willows Birds of Prey yesterday was called?

Preparing to Land

Did anyone else at the Willows Birds of Prey field trip yesterday clock the name of this raptor? We were told, and I think the word 'grey' may have appeared somewhere in the common name, but I can't recall the rest of the name.

My pleasure Barrie, because of the grey frontage of the feathers it was a little bit difficult to get a good result and with a lot of these birds a lot of them have a very similar colour frontage, however we got there in the end 😀.
