A broad bodied chaser back

A broad bodied chaser back

A sign that spring is giving way to summer: damselflies and dragonflies appearing over the Compton Park pool.

This is a male broad bodied chaser dragonfly which was there yesterday. Once the sun comes out, it spends a lot of its time resting on vegetation, on the look out for passing females and for incursions into its territory from rival males.
