Identification Area

Thanks All. I thought they were Cluster flies at first too, but apparently Cluster flies overlap their wings when they are resting? But these don't.I've purchased a fly trap which I'll get out there in the summer and hopefully that'll help control the population, as I don't fancy getting the...

Thank you. Need to dig it all up and turf it again. That willowherb pops up everywhere

Thanks all for the info. I think I will try and plant some small evergreens in the bare patch areas in an effort to 'fill' out the bare patches, and see if that works.......

Thanks for your reply
