Photographed at Scatsta Airport at the end of last year. Don't know how they manage to fly?

They don't fly, they walk.

There are a few brachypterous cranefly species in the UK, this one looks a good candidate for Tipula (Savtshenkia) pagana. In Alan Stubbs' 1992 cranefly atlas there are records scattered througout Britain, inclduing one dot for Shetland  Martin Martin Harvey |
