Prees Heath - Emperor Dragonfly

I'm currently on 15 species of Odonata for the year in Shropshire and I wasn't expecting to add to that whilst looking for Butterflies! That is until an Emperor Dragonfly turned up whilst phographing Silver-studded Blues! A check of the the nearby pool and another one from the footpath gave a tally of seven on the wing here!


I never saw a single one land either!




They were too busy chasing each other off from where they had staked a territory!




Come to think about it, they were too bust chasing, I didn't see thewm eat much prey either!


So long...
