Early May Bank Holiday

The fantastic weather allowed for some quality dragonfly watching. First off, I found 100+ emerging Large Red Damselflies, and a single Azure Damselfly. I also had the privilege to watch and photograph the full emergence of a male Hairy Dragonfly, something I've been trying for for 15 years. It was one of those occasions when everything came together: timing, the weather, and a good clean background! I found him at around 0930hrs and recorded his emergence until 1130hrs when he was ready for first flight.
