| | | The Return of the Broad-bodied Chaser
I was over the moon to see it agian this morning! 
I hadn't seen it for about a fortnight now(providing its the same on?) 
Its a female and i got a wonderful look at it this morning for about Ten minutes.
I was so glad i was able to get some decent Photo's last time beacause it mean't i could spend more time observing its wonderful darting flight.
It was about 11am and i was just potting up some small Acorus Calamus plants in the larger of my two ponds when hey ho she came swooping in
pure magic the way she seemed to skim the surface i was totally MESMERIZED!! she liked my BROOKLIME which is growing in the shallow margins particularly.
i've noticed the sun is usually full on the pond at the time and my pond is only 46cm 18inch deep with plenty of vegetation which they prefer i read
It really made my Day!  |

You know Bouncy, b.b Chasers are really quite infrequent where I live, which is a great shame as they are a cracking little dragonfly. They seem to be slowly moving in, but I wish they would get a move on.

That's why i thought it had to be something else like a giant wood wasp or somthing?
It couldn't be a DRAGONFLY? surely not?
Don't you only ever those in tranquil country places? |
