Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated.
More photos from my visit to this very small reserve last Friday.
This looks to me like a common darter. The colouring is like a female but it might be a juvenile male I guess.
Ruddy darter (I think) dragonfly at rest on grass flower. There's also a tiny spider hiding in the grass.
I think I posted a similar shot this time last year but with a black darter. So this time Izzy poses nicely with a Common Darter, seeking a little cosy. Good dog Izzy!
I find these much harder to photograph in flight than the bigger Hawkers. More light would have helped a lot, 1/1000 isn't fast enough for these.
This one was a little shy and wouldn't let me get very close to her but it's great to see these little dragonflies about again!
Some more info about them below for anyone interested;

Have a great weekend! :)
Preserved Bournemouth Yellow Buses Dennis Dart M455 LLJ out the shed this afternoon having a few things done to her.
One of the what was a large fleet of Dennis Darts that used to operate for Plymouth Citybus, number 41 here is slowly dying, no doubt being used as a source of spares for others, and being gutted in the process.
A Darter designed for long range artillery support.
Equipped with Mortars, Particle Cannon, and Antenna.
I am not sure whether it is Ruddy or Common. Both were present.

Here's a walk down Memory Lane for all you (North American) retro classic car buffs and enthusiasts.
This paint colour and insignia will undoubtedly be all that's needed to trigger your mind's eye into remembering the exact car, make and model.
The classic Dodge Dart came in a variety of engines from the 6 cylinder model right up to the screaming hemi.
The most popular, muscle Darts were those of 4th generation 1968-1976.
MOPAR or no CAR, as the Dodge owners say :)
Currently I am involved in a restore of a 1968 Dodge Dart.
She was purchased as a complete surprise by family for my last birthday.
In my younger days, muscle cars were a huge part of my youth.
I conjointly built some lean, mean muscle machines and did some recreational racing, that included racing on the quarter mile track.
I owned a 1968 Dodge Charger and to this day, I am still kicking my own ass for not keeping the classic and ever loved car that began the muscle car era - The GTO.
Mine was a 1966
Over the hot summer months, my plans include posting some of the beautiful cars and trucks that cross my path and capture both my eye and heart.
In return, I will display them proudly in hopes that other people may have a chance to enjoy their beauty as well.
.......and hopefully, by next summer I may even have some of my own car to display.
I know this specific image will attract a limited audience and for those that may be interested, I have including my Classic Cars & Hot Rod album.

A female common darter.
I'll be mostly offline for a couple of days celebrating one of those big birthdays with a zero ... Or as a friend put it, "That's a good age Jan.... vintage." :-O
HBBBT and have a great weekend when it comes! :)
Just like my grandfather's Dart. Well, actually not quite like his. The Mickey Thompson radial slicks and pro street hood scoop lead me to believe that it doesn't have a slant six with push-button automatic. Also my grandfather's Dart had a "quieter" off-white paint finish. I photographed this '62 Dodge Dart at a Hot Rod Car Show at the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, Michigan this summer.
