Wild New (to me) Dragonfly - Id. please

Son_of_Thor · 5 Jun 2018

Usually we see Four-Spotted Chasers and little else at our local nature reserve, but I saw a couple of dragonflies I've not seen before last time out. Can anyone help with an Id. please?

Thanks folks, might try a re-edit on this to make the branch less prominent. Was nice to get one using the macro lens rather than the long lens...
