Hi David.Think your mating pair may be Black-tailed Skimmers. Good capture. Whenever I get close up to a coupling pair,they usually fly off! Can't blame them I suppose!

The female of the species is more deadly than the male.

Definitely Black tailed Skimmers. I've changed the title.

Thanks Jules and Graham - Not too good on the dragons !! (or anything else really)

And they did take a few minutes of chasing to get them !
