that's very impressive. No dragonflies are easy to photograph in-flight but some such as Migrant Hawkers are easier than others...but darters are very difficult in my experience. Very nicely done.

It did take a lot of waiting and trial & error to get this image, they do not stay still or fly in lines, I took about 30 images to get this one which I thought worthy of posting, in all I spent about an hour on getting this image, thanks again for the feedback, very much appreciated.

Thought I'd browse what you folks on the other side of the pond are doing. This shot is strikingly good Peter!
