1 A Cranefly, but I am rather thrown by the single dark segment looking neither like T. Paludosa, T. Oleracea or N. appendicularta

Evening Lester,
Yes, the Cranefly looks distinctive enough but I couldn't name her. The second is as BH says, in the Genus Rhagio...
Take care, Jason  |

My best shot at the Cranefly would be a female Tipula lunata

Take care, Jason | Jason and bughunter, thanks, using the Genus I found this which you may find interesting although I couldn't get to species from it I think. Rhagio of Northwest Europe - Identification key Quote:
