Drama at the bottom of the track, if I'd looked up I would have seen it happen.
The farm soon sorted it out though.
Cheilosia illustrata
Hemipteran to be identified - Leptopterna ferrugata (see comments below, thanks Gibster)
Female, (part-winged) so 2nd antennal segment broader than base of front tibia, which seems correct.

Looks like a shoot for bloody Top Gear
Your hemipteran looks to be the Mirid bug Leptopterna ferrugata, which is known from Orkney. Here's the link to the British Bugs page for the species. http://www.britishbugs.org.uk/heteroptera/Miridae/leptopterna_ferrugata.html
Thanks Gibster will check that out, loads of them on the trackway east of us.
Simon, yes impressive skid marks on the road.
