Broad Bodied Chaser Dragonfly (Female)

[LukeC]

Just a few chance images; whilst walking back to my car after spending some time at a Woodpecker nest I've been observing, this little lady flew past. She gave me a few different poses before she flew off, sadly the light was quite harsh but I like them anyway. Thanks for looking.

Very nice despite the slightly harsh light, I think the background compliments the subject very well

Only Damsels around near us so far, can't wait for the Dragons to start to appear...

Thanks Si,
These are the first I've seen this year. Having just moved to Pembrokeshire this winter I've been distracted exploring the other wildlife possibilities and forgot how much I enjoyed chasing Dragonflies last summer. Hopefully I'll find good spots here!

Sounds like to may have found a good spot already, happy hunting!

I like both of those images, I think you have dealt with the harsh light well, the colours are lovely.

Thanks footman! I'm still getting used to the crazy amount that the D500 can pull back shadow detail, compared to my last camera. Really helps with shots like the first one.
