First visit to the old quarry and we found dragons and damsels aplenty, sunning themselves on the sandy pebbles and swooping over the pond.

It was as if we were in the middle of a darters' school playground, just after the bell had rung for break-time.

 

This wee beauty was particularly active and eager to pose on the bigger pebbles, refusing to be limited by, and totally disregarding, a torn wing - a great lesson to bring home from this unique trip to Odonata Heaven :)

 

Many thanks for your encouragement, comments, faves and invites, flickr friends!
