I'm was hoping to find time this year to get down and discover the odd site for species, but looks like you've mopped up! Excellent job. Leopoldius signatus is a real handsome fly, which must also fly at night as I had two in a moth trap set at Borfa House in September 2006.
NB 'this species' = Colletes hederae
