I normally see loads of these around my pond but they have been pretty scarce this year for some reason. Nice shots Brian.

Nice captures Brian.

Funnily enough, there have been plenty round my office this year, so it looks like their scarcity may only be a local issue. Either that, or I've been lucky.
