Lejops vittatus
Last week @unsociable-lapwing.bsky.social and I had 5 days in Norfolk and the unexpected happened.
Thought to be extinct in the county, at Great Yarmouth we saw 3+ Lejops vitattus hoverflies including a pair in cop!

I've always liked hoverflies but im starting to obsess with the ones coming to the garden with 2 migratory ones in the last 2 weeks both relatively common but not many records locally to me in Stoke-on-trent. #hoverflies #ukhoverflies
Another first for me for 2025, Eristalis tenax female, drone fly its a honeybee mimic. The larva develop in organic rich pools (not aphid munchers - but good pollinators) Here enjoying Iris reticular Katharine Hodgkin. #ukhoverflies #eristalis #nature #pollinator #bbcspringwatch
