Well done with the close-up shots there John. I often sit in the garden watching the damsel flies hunting, here's one (yesterday morning) just finishing a light snack
before zooming off for seconds. We are surrounded by old gravel/sand extraction pits here, and see lots of damsels and dragons (the 'big boys' haven't shown up yet this year). I keep trying to get a shot of them in flight, but a compact isn't really up to the job. We get a lot of the type in the pic and when they are in flight the wings appear very dark brown (almost black) and they look just like miniature biplanes performing stunt flying routines.
