Yes
A Black Darter Sympetrum danae Only about Britain's smallest resident dragonfly at only 30 mm long
It was a very early morning Start 3.30 am at 21 deg on Crowle moors to see one of my Favourite Dragonfly and hoping to get some Perched up with the morning dew on them ? but with fingers Crossed as the numbers are very low indeed this year and Failed twice already ? I was greeted with about 30 red deer hinds to start with a barn owl then I had 3 nightjars flying and making their funny noise I was struggling to find any at all then saw some flying 4.20 with hardly any light at all then I found two perched up Both female I think so quickly getting a few shots before they was of ? and I must say I nearly got eaten alive never seen so many Mossys and got the Bites to prove IT

That's a stunner and to see some nightjars flying is a big bonus in my book(I've never seen one)............nice.
 
Sorry But no Russ I see them occasional their but I would not know were to start Taking shots in near on darkness ? Yes Jerry it knocked me for six but worth it I got asked to put a bit input of how I get my shots so thought I would try a bit I hope people like it let me know what you think ?
