I thought these were Juvenile Coots, but not sure. The first has a fish:
Chicken of the Woods. Doesn't cluck though....
Nice set Snappy... I had chicken of the woods in a posh restaurant in London last year... I had no idea it wasn't poultry until it arrived!! Mrs PB took the mickey about me turning vegetarian for the rest of the weekend!! I'm not sure the blue dragon isn't a Black Tailed Skimmer, as the Broad Bodied Chaser has more colour around the base of the wings, and less black on the abdomen... but that's without Mr Google's help! I think the juvenile Coot might be juvenile Moorhen, but for me it's a 50/50 guess... which is better odds than I normally give for ID's lol Like I said, lovely set, Snappy, and thanks for sharing
Thanks PB, I have updated the 1st Dragonfly to a Black-tailed Skimmer it looks good to me. Not sure I have a good enough angle on the second though, this may be a bit better:
