Sympetrum striolatum
One taken whilst waiting for Snipe ,and getting Kingfishers and these.
Not real sharp but interesting behaviour shot I thought
Sigma 100-300mm
400th sec ISO 400

In flight shots of dragons are always hard to get, but that looks pretty good to me.

Gorgeous shot and great achievement as these type of shots are not easy to get!
Well done!

Thanks for looking.
Its not that hard really if you sit for hours on end staring at water ! Sooner or later something will happen . Not always what you want though.I must have taken over 100 of these but nearly all were rubbish.

Getting these in flight and in formation is some achievement
All you needed was the coloured smoke coming out of their rear ends
