Dragonflies, Damselflies and smaller

These are mostly taken along the Mill River, which rises somewhere in Ipswich and joins the Kirton Brook at Newbourne before discharging into the River Deben. It feeds a chain of reservoirs and pools some still in use by the large scale farms, some allowed to revert to nature. It is a local record, for summer 2015 and the quality that I can achieve with the Nikon 1 inch sensor (1/2.7 ref 35mm) and general purpose tele lenses, no macro available, but some quasi-macro using canon 500D close-up lens wedged into hood of 70-300 - for classy shots with some overlap see https://pbase.com/tojor/dragon_and_damselflies_2014 . I am using UK naming derived from British Dragonfly Society...continued 2016-18 with the slightly improved sensor in the N1J5 and using 16mm extension tube where practical for the smaller damsels
