Spotted flitting among the Bluebells in the garden today.

EDIT; On further inspection it looks very much like P.manicatus, is this correct?

Thanks Andre.:)..I do try. The top one is a bit out of focus,but I have some better ones I might pick out. I do like the lucky shot of the one flying though. (Backwards I might add, startled by the flash).
Regards Roger
