Enjoyed a visit to Woorgreens, Forest of Dean, yesterday (06.08.26). Nice to find a good variety of dragonfly and damselfly, despite it being a cool day with quite a lot of cloud. Highlight for me was coming across this Red-veined Darter. #ukdragonflies #ukwildlife #odonata

This pair of copulating Lesser Emperors landed right in front of me at Kenfig Pool this morning. Unfortunately they were spooked by a Common Whitethroat leaving me with no chance to get more than this one shot #ukdragonflies #KenfigNNR

Sometimes it gets just too hot! This Ruddy Darter is pointing its abdomen towards the sun to minimise the surface area exposed. You can see how effective this is from the tiny shadow it casts. nr Severn Beach, South Gloucestershire (19.07.26) #ukdragonflies #southglosdragonflies #ukwildlife #odonata
