Dragonflies in flight and courting

[zulupentax]

Must be the season . I never witnessed so many dragonflies mating.
Also had a nice afternoon at Stockers trying to capture some of these little beauties in flight.
C&C greatly appreciated

Would have loved to have a less cluttered background on this last one but the little fellows just wouldn't budge from that spot and kept hovering around there.

Thank you everyone for your kind comments.
These were taken with Canon 300mm IS f/4 and 1.4x TC handheld.

Astonishingly clear in flight shots.
