And this time it’s all about the Common Hawker Dragonfly. There were a few of these Dragonfly hawking over the tarn and I managed to get some canny shots. Unfortunately, I did not see any Damselflies this year which was a shame.

Our annual visit to Slipper Tarn at Cragside was once again fruitful if you like Dragonflies with loads of Black and Common Darter hawking around the tarn. As you can see by the title of the Blog, I have split it into two again (I seem to be doing it a lot lately) because once again I have too many images.
