I'm no expert on flies but I think the lower photo maybe the tachinid Gymnosoma rotundatum which parasitises some shieldbugs. Hopefully Matt or another expert can confirm this. |

Could i have the record details please. | Many thanks, both seen on Ham Lands by River Thames (near Ham House) around 1pm, the smaller fly kept flying off the flower to investigate me but would always return. |
