Very enjoyable and at times amusing video! That looks a lovely place. Those dragonflies are really hard to get - I tried at Abbotsbury Swannery's little wildlife pond - there was a pair and the male was protecting the female from other males, so she was easy to get whilst laying her eggs, but he most certainly wasn't, with all his darting around. Don't think I've ever got a decent pic of one in flight. I have enough trouble with birds, let alone these!
Good video Mark, macro is just the thing for a hot humid day. I'm planning to do some macro this weekend as it's predicted to warm up again. All the best, Steve.
Great tips for a hot day Mark and some excellent Dragonfly images to finish off with. Cheers Keith
Thanks 👍 Keith
I visited that pond following your previous video. It is a lovely spot with plenty of dragonflies!
It really is! Awesome
