Yesterday at work I spotted some large damselflies while leading some pond dipping, which perched with their wings at 45 degrees, a distintive feature of the two emersld damselfly species found in the UK. I headed back with my camera and tooks ome photos, not sure if they were the scarce emerald or the 'noprmal' emerald damselfly.

Tuesday, 16. June 2009, 20:16:48
Last Saturday I was kindly picked up by Dave (see his website here) and we headed to Strumpshaw for the WAB meet, staying over night at a nearby campsite and spending the next day there too.

For two years Ive been trying to photogrpah a male emperor dragonfly, and on Sunday, on a quick wander round bedfords park with the new set up, I spotted one. I walked over to the bank, pointed the camera, the dragonfly hovered striaght away and I got this

Armed with my new camera and lens, I headed up to Wake Valley Pond in Epping forest on Saturday. This pond is one of the few places in the UK you can find downy emerald dragonflies. These beautiful dragonflies are a pain to photograph, as I found out last year
Stag Beetles
Sunday, 7. June 2009, 22:21:55
On Wednesday, I was sitting at my computer when I large insect flew past my window. As I was thinking that it was an odd time to see a dragonfly, it dawned on me that it must have been a stag beetle. A wander round the garden resulted in a low fly over and eventually finding this female on the pear tree.
