The first sighting of a Hoverfly of 2006. This looks like a female Eupeodes luniger.
In the front garden I have a large flowering South African perennial Euryops pectinatus, the daisy flowers provide a useful food source when little else is available.
The day was sunny and ambient temp was around 10C on the warm, south facing wall.
The fly was a little sluggish and spent a few moments warming on the wall before returning to feed.
