Day 268 - I spotted this unusual Dragonfly and had to take a picture of it! It's a Migrant Hawker, they are fierce carnivores and will hunt flying insects such as flies, midges and mosquitoes, the larger ones will also eat butterflies, moths and occasionally smaller dragonflies and damselflies!
@louannwarren He was rather a large dragonfly! @ludwigsdiana The picture doesn't pick up the true colours, it had a lovely blue and brown tail with a yellow under body! @susiemc He was quite obliging with sitting still for a picture! @chrisiow I was a bit scared it was going to fly towards me and they were a bit skiddish the way they flew around!
Thank you everyone for your lovely comments
