I would appreciate some help with identification for the following two:
Snail (photographed recently on rotten wood, in fairly moist ancient woodland near Greenham Common, Berkshire) 
Hoverfly (photographed on hedgerow near Goring, Berkshire, in May).   |

Afternoon Sylvia,
The Hoverfly is Epistrophe eligans, common in the Spring.
Take care, Jason  |

Thanks to you both!
I'm going to go with Discus rotundatus (Discus snail) - it was around 5mm in size.
Cheers again,
M.O. |
