Venus Pool - Black-tailed Skimmer

Not a lot of action in the Arable field but a confiding Black-tailed Skimmer gave a photo opportunity.

With this pattern it could either be a female or immature...

The distinctive 'black ladder' pattern...

And the yellow ante-nodal cross veins showing nicely

Will do nicely as an addition to the odonata pages at  http://shropshirebirder.co.uk/odonata.html
