Damselflies and Dragonflies (Darters) at Pleasley Pit Country Park. There were many more but the big Emperors and Hawkers just wouldn't settle.
It was good to just sit and watch for a while as they gave us an aerial display.

Some photos taken this morning. A Brown Hawker, Aeshna grandis, patrolling. She led me a merry dance, never settling . it was a matter of point the camera in the general direction and hope for the best.

That's a cracking Large Red. Here's one I can't get a good ID on. Any ideas? Edit - Apparently this is also a Large Red Damselfly, Pyrrhosoma nymphula only it's an immature, possibly female. Now there's a coincidence.
