It looks like an assassin bug. It may be Coranus subapterus. No doubt someone will be along to confirm or correct me. |

tristanba many thanks.
"if you own a copy of Chinery 'Complete British Insects'", guilty! I have found names exchanged between species before, still a nice book though.
Misanthrope, when I was shooting I thought perhaps it was an assassin bug. | | |
