Well, a Four Spot Chaser to be precise

That’s a phenomenal shot Les!

A nice clean shot. Did you use a monopod or anything when capturing this?

That’s mighty impressive, even with my 105mm it looks like I took the photo in a hurricane with the amount of blur

Great classic Dragon portrait - very jeolous not seen one yet this year - inner city lockdown is getting a little frustrating.

I guess I'm lucky living down on the Somerset levels with lots of open space - thank you for your comments

My sentiment exactly. I've not seen and I live in the Cheshire country! Out for a walk earlier on there was nothing to be seen round the ponds nearby. Is it a northern or north western phenomenon?

Very productive your walks along the Tone,Les. Lovely detailed image. I see why I ticked yellow on my dragonfly ID website .It came up when I ticked brown after being informed that it was a Four Spotted Chaser. Maybe light changes it's colour.

lovely colours
