Lovely dragonfly shots. Like the hoverfly to, yours doesn't have dents in it's eyes like mine did.

Great series again Alistair.

Love #2. Isn't that known as the 'inquisitive puppy' look?

The hover is quite good although I'm not overly fond of it, but the darter shots are great. Incidently, there's nothing common about this darter. The red nose and all black legs are giveaways for ruddy darter so extra points for catching one of those as well. :)

Nice shots Alistair, I like the way the D/Fs eyes match the bud it's standing on :-)
