Found nest of the local sparrow hawk
Large beetle - still unidentifed!
40mm! I though stag beetle was big! Like maybug/cockchaffer, but with character of a ground beetle. Not a water beetle, although body shape similar. Long discretely segmented antennae. All black. V stong in hand. Body round in tranverse cut. Underside abdomen noticable smooth end.
=== Update 20/6/2010
This beetle undoubtedly Calosoma coriaceus
