Nice set Chris. You are still finding dragonflies! That's good. I like the video too - I wonder what that intermittent head-shake was all about - and the leg-twitching too for that matter. Is that normal/usual? (I wouldn't know - I hardly ever see dragonflies - none at all this year.)

Thanks Charles - These dragonflies ( darters ) often return to the same spot. Case of patience and waiting for one to put up with me. Unusually for me I was using a tripod ( mainly to steady the videoing I was doing ), and just carefully got the 100mm lens to 1:1 on it. I've been closer to some with my MPE-65mm lens in the past. Some obviously fly off.
Thanks Alf
Yes, fortunately on the South Coast they can be around in October. My id book says the Commons apparently fly into December! Don't recall seeing any that late in the year - but maybe was not looking for them then.
Not sure what the leg tapping was about, think the hoping may of been it checking out the lens ? Or maybe some prey was nearby that it was looking at.
