A metallic blue wasp: a female Ormyrus sp, probably Ormyrus nitidulus = Ormyrus tubulosus (Hymenoptera: Ormyridae).
Although I see these quite frequently in Whiteknights Park, this is the first one I have seen in and around Chazey Wood.

A grey Tachinid fly with noticably darkened wing-veins: probably a Ramonda spathulata (Diptera: Tachinidae). Identification suggested by Chris Raper and Erikas 'neprisikiski' at Diptera.info. Also, probably a female because of the relatively large gap between the eyes (see here to compare the gap in male and female).
