    Some tricky to identify species there, apart from #3 which is a male Eristalis pertinax.

    The first looks like being one of the Tachinidae group but most of them are difficult so I tend to leave them alone. So many options for #2; something around the Muscidae general area but there are so many similar flies.

    The cranefly is probably Tipula oleracea or paludosa male but another area which tends to be a struggle to identify from photos.

    I really like your third shot Les. He's feasting on cotton candy clouds of blooms. Good focus too.
