Dragonflies

[lil_shepherd]

I've been carrying the DSLR around recently in the hope that the good weather and the mass of flower - I never realised how evocative of summer the scent of white clover was until I walked fields full them recently - would bring out the butterflies. Unfortunately, I have yet to see more than a couple, and never in a position to photograph. On the other hand, down by the lake, there are lots of dragon and damselflies. These have been, as per usual, very frustrating to try to photograph. However




Tentatively identified as a male Black-Tailed Skimmer, for which the timing, habitat, behaviour and location all tie in nicely.
