Hi Folks,
A friend and fellow photographer spotted one of these on site yesterday. She has put her image of it on Flickr in the Old Moor group. My question is, is this a regular dragonfly sighting at Old Moor? I don't remember seeing them here before but then, I don't remember where my car keys are either :)
Hi Andrew,
They were certainly about last year at this time of year (early dragonfly season). More than any other beastie though, they had a habit of taking off just as your camera got into focus. Mainly saw them around the Family hide and the pond between there and the Visitor Centre.
Hi Andrew just posted a pic of one from last year, remember me telling you about getting ants in my PANTS lol.
Thank you very much chaps - I knew I could rely on better memories than mine!
When I got the enquiry, I searched through my photos and found nothing for black-tailed skimmer so assumed they must be relatively uncommon - after all, I take a lot of pictures!
Now perhaps I remember why - not 'uncommon', just 'uncommonly hard to photograph' :)
