dragonfly,eating his lunch....a damselfly!

[stan the man]

walking along a local canal this afternoon,when i watched this dragonfly darting about for a minute or so..then he landed a few metres away from me,so i walked slowly to find and shoot him.on looking through the viewfinder,i could see him eating something....an azure damselfly!!
