Thank you Steve I am not an expert on dragonflies so it took awhile to ID him but it was worth it as it was such a beauty and posed still for ages which makes a change!

Thank you Wayne I liked this dragonfly it was large, stayed still and therefore made focusing much easier!! I get a lot of dragonflies on the pond but it is the first time I have seen one of these I hope they come back again.

Thank you Heath I am fasinated now as a novice on dragonflies are these fairly unusual or is it just that they are only in a few areas? I will research and have a look

Thanks again
