Evening Richard,
The first two are Non-biting Midges, Chironomidae and the one emerging is a Mosquito. I'm not too certain on which ones yours are, but with mozzies the legs are apparently the important bit for identifying. I obviously need to do some work in this area!
Take care, Jason  |

Thanks very much.
It was fascinating to watch, the whole process was very quick. I guess it wouldn't normally be a good idea to hang around on the water surface!
