Black hard shell, ugly, little white spots and body armour , fly and really get a grip on things. Keep looking for name but never find them, are they stag beetles?

I'll have a think, not sounding familiar at the moment. When they turn up you may have to take a pic.

Look up fur beetles which are native and Asian long horned beetles which are a pest and look quite spidery.
