no, our brillant summer has been good for them and us. After the first two weeks of June there was a lull but some are out and about again

No tony that's a good guy more so for pollination. It's a dronefly. No Narcissus fly active in the UK at this time of year

Mark thanks I knew you would know.

I had my first narcissus fly problem last year  on only one bulb a phaedranassa which I found when repotting in the spring. I do not want any more.

The Team had simply asked for photos and videos to be sent in....no Autumn relevance needed.

Only Maggi and I watch Autumn Watch? I would have thought the programme would be more popular with UK forum members
