    This was taken at the Cotswold Water Park, a huge area of lakes, some nature reserves, others for water sports and angling etc. We saw a nature reserve on the map called Lower Moor and set off to visit it.... hmmm the signage wasn't very good but we found our way in eventually! We didn't see...

    I took this yesterday in a dry interlude!! At first, I thought it was a female but I'm now more inclined to think it is an immature male. If you know for sure, I would welcome your views. ISO 400, 1/800 @ f5.6

    Its quite amazing how the slightest movement of your hand, to the left or right, can encourage these insects into position on their chosen perch! :) I think these are Blue-tailed Damselflies. http://www.tomcharlesphotography.co.uk/dragonflies

    I did get some close-ups of these, but I prefer this shot taken from about 3 foot away. The focal length (468mm) blurred the BG.

    It seems that the female is an andromorph form.
