I spent yesterday catching up on gardening and housework duties, and was very happy to see this female broad bodied chaser resting herself on the willows at the back of the border.
These may be one of the most abundant dragonflies in Europe, but they're still wonderful. And emerging in April is quite early.
A holly blue butterfly also entertained for a while as did a willow warbler. Above my head swallows and house martins prospected for nesting sites. Not a bad wildlife tally, just working and relaxing at home.
Great shot of a great Dragon, Andrew.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun to have a dragon in your garden. She (?)is a beauty.
