3 more DFs

Three more that I took last weekend. Not macro but 70-200f4L slightly cropped.

First a common darter, second a keeled skimmer and third I believe is a ruddy darter - would eccles mind confirming ID for me please. eccles, my reasons for believing it is a ruddy is because I cant see the leg colour clearly as the sun was coming from behind, so I am going by the side thorax markings.

Thanks Bill - yes, the 70-200f4L always produces lovely bokeh which more often than not just finishes the photo off nicely (well I think so lol).

Lovely set Linda. Like #1 and #3 best. #3 is super.

Lovley shots Linda. The background in #1 is beautiful.

Thanks Pete - re the keeled skimmer, I only seem to see these at Thursley NNR in Surrey, dont think they are terribly widespread.
