often see these small (5mm) black flies basking in the spring sunshine on the railings by the lake at work in SW London, often quite numerous but well spread out. Higher magnification shows most of them have pollen attached.

Time of the year and pollen suggests Egle spp. Larvae feed on salix catkins, which I expect you will find in bloom nearby

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
