Broad-bodied Chaser
The Broad-bodied Chaser (Libellula Depressa) is one of the commonest dragonflies found in Europe this male was photographed at the New Lount Nature Reserve which at one time was a Coal Mine but has now been returned back to nature. The pool where these Chasers can be found is always brown in colour whatever time of the year you visit, not sure why as the other pools and ponds on the reserve are clear, I can only presume this may be something to do with the old workings.
