As far as I know Ephemera species have three 'tails', so these are not Ephemera - but I don't know what they are  (I think photos 1 and 3 are female, photo 2 is male).Martin Martin Harvey Martin Harvey |

As Martin said, Ephemera spp. have 3 tails - and they just look different to the ones in the photos. Here is a photo of Ephemera vulgata that shows it quite nicely I think  |
