    Sound like hover flies - quite harmless.

    Exactly what I was going to say. Flies of all sorts love a conseravtory on a warm day - for me it comes down to two choices, either keep it closed up and bake, or keep the doors to the house closed, open it all up and let the wildlife through at will. Confession time - at the end of the day, when I close it up, whatever flies are still in there, I set to with a long hose and thin stair-nozzle on the hoover, and hoover them up! Works every time :)
