Emerging dragonflies

Emerging broad bodied chaser dragonfly in grass at the pond margin

I’ve had probably 10 or a dozen broad bodied chaser dragonflies emerge from the pond so far.

Here’s a quick snap of one from a couple of days ago, shortly after emergence before the wings had hardened.

Large red damselflies are around most days too, at least when its sunny,  so there should be a good crop of larvae later in the summer.

A quick snap (which is another way of saying it's out of focus!)
