Thanks to DaveP and Neil for the opportunity to photograph water life in their nifty little portable set-ups during the Leighton Moss Meet!

Nice one Pauline! These are not easy without flash but you've got this one spot on.

Has the freshwater photography bug bitten, Pauline?



I'm intrigued by the two specimens in the image. What are they doing? Is one a juvenile or are they mating? Any thoughts?

Yes!! Dave P and Neil more about this than me .... and they told me that the male carries the female around with him! Sweet! Whether he carries her until they mate or just forever I don't know - but I'm sure someone on here will. I couldn't help joking that I could see the strip of 'velcro' down his belly ...... oh well you know me !!!
