Not so many dragonflys in the afternoon,but saw one male black tailed skimmer,really nice-near duck hide on edge of marsh,couldnt get a photo-just learning these insects,but getting there slowly!!!saw a dragonfly on the right pond near car park appeared to be laying eggs,so i was told,kept dipping then hovering,maybe you guys would know more,managed to get a photo of it hovering(not Digital),not sure which species,always settled where you could not see the wing markings,but broad body looking golden in the sunlight.
Regards,
Rog.
