Yes it is. The way the light was on the day (dark and murky) makes the heads look really dark, but they are definitely dunlin, as I saw them repeatedly, and heard the calls too. Confused me for a long time though.

A victorinox. A huntsman, if I am not very much mistaken. And the tweezers have gone missing.
Well done, not sure if it's a Huntsman but you're right about the rest.........................now if you had mentioned the missing toothpick too, that really would have been impressive..
Definitely a hoverfly. there's a big bend in one of the wing veins. Difficult to get a sense of scale, but I'd say one of the drone flies, genus Eristalis.
Failing that it is the narcissus fly, Merodon equestris, which is rather smaller.

This could be a little tricky, but we'll see...
Yes, I know it is a pine cone, but from which species of pine? Matchbox just for scale.

Probably an Eristalis then Niels. There are lots of species, and they are not easy to distinguish, but they generally mimic honeybees, and so are of similar size to the bees. Narcissus fly is half that size.
