It was a real bonus finding these two young Whitethroats tonight. I managed to get quite close, but had to shoot through the undergrowth. I must admit, I like the blurred foreground..

Dragon Emperor
There were only a few of these, and they spent most of there time being beaten up by the much smaller 4 Spot Chasers. Great to watch, but annoyingly, they insisted on perching in very awkward places.
If You Go Down To The Woods
No matter what I did, I couldn't get this Sika to put her head in the sunlight. It was a little gloomy in the woods, but this was a nice surprise.

Mouthfull
A couple of good walks today but the weather, although dry was not great for photographs. The sky was too white for landscapes but there was very little light under the trees for the birds. Plenty to see and hear though so I can't really complain. Whitethroats were everywhere.

Beautiful
A Beautiful Damoiselle, I think, another shot with the big lens making me wish I had taken the macro.
Golden Rings
Just enough time for a quick wander today but unfortunately I only had the big lens. Plenty of dragons about, including this one. The Golden Ringed dragonfly seemed huge next to the usual suspects.
