I think these are Scorpion Flies, (mating?) but the black and yellow markings don't appear to match anything I can find in any of my books (three species listed for the UK) or on the net. The wings also appear to be less marked than usual. Are they variable or is this something else? Both male and female here have very similar markings. Side on pic could be a lot better but it was windy and they were blowing around in the breeze.

Not Scorpion Flies (saw my first of the year last weekend) but I think craneflies- perhaps Nephrotoma sp.

Thanks Aeshna, I've just been looking around to try to narrow it down but I think I'll settle for Nephrotoma species.
