Quite a bit of activity in the garden yesterday, mainly around the camelia bush where I have cheated by spraying some of the flowers and leaves with sugar/honey mix.

Mating 7-spot ladybirds - seems to be exactly the same female I shot the day before in the same position
Hoverfly Episyrphus balteatus - couldn't resist an overhead shot with the beautiful body markings this one had.
Largish hoverfly Myathropa florea. This is about a month earlier than I have seen them in previous years- judging from the muted colouring I think this must have hibernated.
Pollen covered ichneumon wasp
Dungfly - lots of these about along with bluebottle flies.

The little tramp is just asking for it. lol
Beautiful shots. My favs are the top two. I really love the color and focus on the ladybugs especially. Great job.
