Ruddy Darters - Canvey Way 'ditch', Canvey Island Essex. 100's on the wing now and many in tandem or CoP.
These darters have been around in large numbers since July but sadly their days are numbered now as they will be gone once the first frosts of the autumn set in. The common darter is usually one of the last dragonflies to be seen on the wing each season.
2nd shot below, this time of a male.

Common Darter - Garden. Surprised to see this freshly emerged Darter sunning itself on the honeysuckle. As far as I'm aware this is the first newly emerged Dragonfly that we've ever had.

This Black Darter is another first for me, seen on a recent visit to Foulshaw Moss, one of the reserves of the Cumbria Wildlife Trust
