The birding scene has gone quiet so I opted for another 'insect session' and with time now running out, I still hadn't got my images of a MALE White-faced Darter!
A pretty reliable location (though never guaranteed) are the small pools and ditches at the end of the 'Moss Cottages' access path.
A veritable orgy was in progress amongst the Azure Damselfly population - some quite interesting positions?
I just love these two males rising up and squaring up to each other - nice contender for a caption competition?
A couple of territorial Four-spotted Chasers were ensuring I would struggle to catch s astationary White-face!
But eventually, I got the moment....
A variety of angles.....
Close up and personal with that 'white face'....
One brief encounter with a female White-faced Darter on the walk out.....
Job done, I wonder where the next decent bird is coming from though?
