Recently numbers of flies were good but earlier they were a bit low. Looking at the catches I seem to be catching the same species as last year with about the same numbers too ... so UK isn't great for flies but I am finding what I would expect to find. But I will only know for sure when I identify everything in the winter :)

One factor that is different is much shorter flowers and less flowers, due to the droughts we have had here - and the cold at the start of Spring/Summer.
