A GOLDEN COLOURED DRAGONFLY

A very peculiar coloured Dragonfly, not Damselfly because it holds it wings out and that is one difference between the two.

Probably a female Darter of some sort and there are Common Darters in the area. This is at Cottonmill Stream which is a welll known Dragonfly sanctuary. Not as many as the authorites would have you believe, not even close but I have so far seen three or four large Dragonflies of the Hawker group (Brown, err Migrants last year and the other looking like that one, Emperor), Banded Demoiselles are always in large and impressive numbers too. Also seen Red Eyed Damselflies and pictured them but rubbish. Hopefully this year some good and sharp shots.

Hairy Legged Damsels ... errrr ... or was it White Legged Damselflies?! Lol!
