Back at the start of July I went up to Bedfords Park and the deer had given birth to at least one calf since I lat saw them.

It was suckling at times.

And down at the lake, an emperor dragonfly was laying it's next generation.

Brilliant! Great shot of the Emperor.
I thought the male was usually still attached when the female was laying?

Thanks everyone

RobinL - although thats the case with most damselflies and some dragonflies, with hawkers + emperors the female is usual left to lay eggs on her own, sometimes with the male flying around guarding her while in his territory
