Ruddy Darter, Wantage
Canal, Oxfordshire 5 September 2004 It was a pleasant surprise to find several Ruddy Darter along this stagnant and apparently polluted stretch of water. Initially I thought they were Common Darter (as seen the day before - see below), but checking the pics afterwards soon revealed their true identity! |

Golden Ringed Dragonfly,
Loch an Eileen, Highland, Scotland 7 August 2003 Taken in gloriously hot weather during the incredible summer of 2003! I'm including this mediocre record shot, as it was my first ever dragonfly pic. It played a significant role in starting my interest in dragonflies. |
