A couple of photos from one of dragonfly chasing lunch breaks. As well as the migrant hawkers, there is an abundance of ruddy darters at Wat Tyler CP. I’ve seen many tandem egg laying pairs, but they move pretty fast as the male whips the female down to lay an egg. I took a few shots when both the male and female were side on, but the 1/800th shutter speed was not fast enough to freeze the action, but it looks fine as long as you don’t go to 100%.
The pair mating and thankfully stationary proved much easier to photograph!
Excellent shots. well captured
