I have a right game getting any images of Brown Hawkers at Belvide, when they are not flying around they are bloody good at hiding. I saw this one disappear into a patch of Willow Herb, he was deep in the vegetation but I found him and managed to get a couple of shots through a gap in the stems and leaves. Well chuffed ... even if he was trying to kid me he was a Scorpion

If it was smaller than the Moon it could have been Venus

A 4 Spotted Chaser, a Blue Damselfly in flight and an Emperor Dragonfly in flight (never seen one perched ) Right off to pack, away on holiday for a week

I think Dragonflies are great, not sure I would have wished to encounter their prehistoric ancestors with their 3 foot wingspan

Nice one Mike -
These are only a few days old, there are ten of them following mum around at the reserve, they have no fear of humans and are seriously cute. They are Red Legged Partridge The wind got a bit chilly so they all got under mum's wing to keep warm, once they were all under I could only see a couple of tiny legs showing.

Sad news indeed, a great loss to his nearest and dearest, and to his many friends on this forum. Condolences to his family ... R.I.P Bob

Managed to catch a glimpse of a Reed Warbler sitting on eggs. What always amazes me is the nest, they weave them around 3 reed stems just using their beaks.

Hi Pete, these as most of my images were taken at Belvide Reservoir, (just north of Wolverhampton), West Midland Bird Club control access.

I like dragonflies, they haven't changed much from their prehistoric ancestors, except they had 1.00m wingspans ... imagine watching one of those whizzing about

Had some fun today chasing Swallows, Swifts and Martins in flight, not the best idea on a dull day but hey ho Here is a Swallow flying low to avoid radar

It always looks good when you get the sun shining through their wings like that, gives them an angelic appearance
