My favourite way to watch wildlife is in the outdoors section of a pub, with a nice pint in front of me.
This common dater landed on the edge of the car park of the Combermere Arms, not far from the table where I was sitting. It stayed long enough for me to get my camera out and fire off a few shots. It then flew off, circled the car park several times, before landing in the same sunny spot for another few minutes.
Common darters are small and common (duh) British dragonflies. This one was a female: the males are redder.
