Many Thanks for all your views, faves and very kind comments.

I think this is a male Emperor Dragonfly AKA Blue Emperor (Anax imperator). I found it when I was on holiday in the Costa Blanca, Spain. If not, it is a very blue Lesser Emperor.

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fav my images.

Emperor Dragonfly? please feel free to correct/confirm. taken with a 600mm so not really a macro

A species I have been trying to photograph for years. Normally they don't stay still but this male posed for some images. Taken on Big Moor, Derbyshire this evening.

Pleased to get a flight shot.

It was great just watching this Dragonfly as well as trying to photograph it, I watched as it chased a Butterfly which only escaped by diving into the grass, another one didn't have the chance to as it was over the water and after a frantic aerial duel it just managed to evade it, great to watch!

It's rare to find this species perched but I noticed this individual settle in a small Birch sapling and managed to approach close enough to get an image before it flew off again. It's a shame that the background is a bit messy.
