Female (Older) Common darter.

Spent a wonderful day out along all the hedgerows of our neighboring fields, we found many darter and dragonflies flying and hunting, I managed to get some good piks, but it will now take me a few days to sort through.
I love these insects, they seem to be so friendly as at one point they were on my hand and the camera, I could have watched them all day!
Its the best year so far for these gorgeous insects.
When I got home our own garden was full of them too, typical eh lol?

We must have been just lucky to catch a day when they had recently hatched.

Another pik from Howhill, I had never seen a black and white damselfly,and it wasnt in any of my insetc books; but I found out its a newly hatched one, thanks Edwina.


Watch this space for more piks as I sort through.

There do seem to be so many this year - my favourite are the red ones. Beautiful shots - so delicate. Chris
