@LyndalT lovely! Second photo has a hoverfly, maybe Melangyna viridiceps or Simosyrphus grandicornis.

Carbon AI has the wrong bee, though, I think

@LyndalT definitely the wrong one. Do you remember if it had a coloured collar? Like a yellow or white band on the skinny part between the head and body?

I think it is a reed bee. No coloured collar
