This Four-spotted Chaser has an under-developed or damaged right forewing. It seemed to be able to fly ok.

A great Spring for Odonata
Despite the cool north-westerly breeze, many dragonflies and damselflies were on the wing today, but you had to look along sheltered hedgerows and glades rather than out over the pools. We've already seen 12 species this year! These are Dougy's photos (thanks Dougy):

Sam,
ReplyDeleteThese shots were taken with a Nikon P100 - a very versatile camera (bridge camera) and produces great images considering the price!
