EARLY BIRD by markp

EARLY BIRD

Sat in the garden this afternoon with a cup of tea, when this dragonfly landed nearby. Fortunately I had my taken my camera out with me. I reached down and picked it up off the grass, managed a couple of quick record shots, and I was just about to move to try and get a better image, when he took off, flew up high and out of the garden.
I think first week in May is quite early for them.

Not 100% on the ID yet.

I think it might be a Broad - Bodied Chaser

Nice of him to stop by and pose for you. I hope it's not a murder dragon fly, and I hope they too don't invade us here in the U.S.!
