Carr Mill dam.

Its German name refers to its late flight period – it is the latest species of dragonfly to appear in Central Europe. Males are active at ambient temperatures as low as around 10 °C, provided the sun is shining. Females usually only fly at temperatures above 13 °C. With the onset of the phase of persistent fog or damp, cool weather in autumn, their flight and lifespan end.

**************************************************

Ihr deutscher Name weist auf die jahreszeitlich späte Flugzeit hin – es handelt sich um die in Mitteleuropa am spätesten auftretende Art der Edellibellen. Männchen sind schon bei Umgebungstemperaturen ab etwa 10 °C aktiv, sofern gleichzeitig die Sonne scheint. Weibchen fliegen meistens erst bei Temperaturen ab 13 °C. Mit dem Beginn der Phase anhaltender Nebel oder feucht-kühler Witterung im Herbst endet Ihre Flug- und Lebenszeit.

...Getting 'bored' with waiting for a Kingfisher or an Otter to show usually results in a batch of Dragonfly shots. :@)
