Broken Wing

This (I think) Sedge Darner (Aeshna subarctica) sits on a rock, vibrating it's body to dry out, after I saw struggling and rippling in the duckweed on the surface of my pond and scooped it out.

 

Notice the broken wing. I was curious if it might still be able to fly. No worries, within a couple of minutes it zoomed off. But not before I took the golden opportunity to take pictures.
