WHAT I DID IN JULY

Well .. I have been doing .. stuff.

Argh .. it is such a pain. I have been up to several things and waiting around for some things to occur so that I could then improve on everything that I do.

Well .. that is the plan and this has already occurred.

Now then .. I was going through some photos and videos for a post, now my next post, when I realised I had already acquired a number of things from some trips that I forgot to post.

I have this memory .. issue, you see?

Anyhoo now I have to process and reduce the pictures for my blog.

These two .. posts may well be the last of this kind before they are .. improved .. somewhat .. yeeaaah that will be an understatement.

I have also developed these really silly and quite unexpected .. psychological issues due to the number of changes about to take place and the fact that it is somewhat .. overwhelming in different ways. Largely due to memory issues I think?

Anyway here are some pictures of wildlife I have managed to get in July ...

And here are some videos ..

MALE BROAD BODIED CHASER - LIBELLULA COMPRESSA

Have to admit to these being quite stunning.

The trouble with me and Dragonflies is that there larvae are the mortal enemy of amphibian larvae and small fish, lol.

I have a video of these and was disappointed with these shots to be frank, yes Harry?! Disappointed with the videos too and not quite sure what went wrong! WOuld not mind but I took over a dozen and these were the best ones!

So I am going to return, as this is a new spot anyway, and do some more with these guys and there was an even bigger Dragonfly there and a female as I videoed her laying eggs on algae and put her up on my YouTube account.

I also have pictures on here and a short video of a female of one of these and if your unfamiliar with this Dragonfly let me tell you that the females are colourful too, being gold on colour. There broad bodies make them stand out even more so than other Dragonflies.
