Kibblesworth

Once again, I have dipped another Wryneck this time at Whitburn Coastal Park. I also dipped a Greenish Warbler, which was at the same place both would have been lifers. A while ago I remember someone saying to me “you should go out and find your own birds” but looking back I have found my own birds the problem now is I cant even find other peoples birds.

After a bit of bait I decided to go to Kibblesworth for Dragonflies. I‘m pleased I did because I managed to get my best flight shots so far of a few different Dragonflies. Also, saw my first Painted Lady of the year and my first Damselflies for a while. Not a bad afternoon. Sorry here are quite a few pictures I just hope I have the identification right.

Not brilliantly sharp but I had to use manual focus to get the shot.
 
Brown Hawker & Four-spotted Chaser. Once again manual focus.

All of the Brown Hawker shots were taken using manual focus.

    Wow! if that Brown Hawker's at Kibblesworth that's a site first as far as I know, and the first in Gateshead probably this century. Cracking find Ron.

    Thanks for the comment Alan. I didn’t know what the Dragonfly was when I took the shots, I just thought it was a female of some species. It was not until I look at some image on line that I found out what it was. By all means please put a pic on your blog.
