I said in part one that I didn’t see many dragonflies at BVNR, here are some I did see however a couple of these were well away from the pond, they were on the path from the carpark. If I have the identification wrong on anything please correct me.
A Common Darter which did the decent thing and posed
for me on different bits of grass.
Common Hawker too high in the trees to get a decent
shot.
Common Darter with a damaged wing.
This one looks to be pristine.
Male Common Darter.
This male looks to be saying “who are you looking at.”

images as it flew past me.
