As ever throughout the year I have been on the lookout for some of our amazing dragonflies and damselflies, although with so many distractions this year I haven't been able to give as much time to them as usual.
This is a selection of some of my favourite odonata moments from the year which starts with the beautiful Scarce Chaser that I saw during a butterfly survey in the late Spring and finishing with the Brown Hawker in the Autumn, which is possibly the hardest species to photograph.

Excellent series of photos Bob. 1st class. I would agree with your Brown Hawker in that they are probably the hardest species to photograph. Don't think I've had a chance this season.
ReplyDeleteA lovely collection Bob.
