Had a heads up about a different spot locally where I might find some Dragonflies so headed down there for a recce. Sure enough, there were a couple of female Broad-Bodied Chasers around, but they proved elusive. Headed back the next day and much earlier on and got to watch one of the females ovipositing for a few minutes before she settled down to have her picture taken :)

Harsh light in the middle of the day, but otherwise I'm very pleased with these...

Very nice Simon
 
A couple of nice images.
Im still waiting for Odonata activity to start in my garden, they are a bit late this year?!

Thanks! They seem to be up here (Lancashire), but depends on the site - my usual haunt which is a deep lake has a few damsels and nothing else. Tried somewhere different with a much shallower pond and it was full of Damsels and there were a couple of Dragons about
