@PeterA do you know which Megachile this may be? We have two types one very grey and this very yellow

M. rotundata is the introduced alfalfa leafcutter bee. It has not been seen for many years and not in this area as far as I know.
Difficult to identify this bee from one image but it might be a male M. serricauda.
