While getting the shots of the Brimstone a large Dragonfly flew past and then landed near by enabling me to get a couple of shots (Alan what is it?). I also accidentally disturbed a couple of Roe Deer fawns that were hiding in the grass; they ran off briefly stopping to look back. I had a macro lens with me at the time so I only got distant shots.
At least half a dozen Spotted Flycatcher were flying about, they were always distant but I did get some not very good shots.
Grasshoppers were hopping all over the grass, as they do, and one stayed still long enough for me to get a shot.

You have more confidence in my ID skills than I do Ron :-) but your dragonfly is a female Migrant Hawker, a species which (as your picture shows) will perch horizontally as well as vertically.
ReplyDeleteCheers Alan I knew you would come up trumps.
