Thank you :huggles: I had to sit there for quite a while to get the butterflies, the blighters kept flying off

A damson fly - I think I've heard of them but I didn't know what one looked like. It was really big, the photo was just luck as I was trying to hold Molly back on her lead!

You've done really well photographing the dragonfly Lucy. :thumbsup: They never seem to sit still long enough for me to get a photo. :- " I like dragonflies too - we used to see loads of different ones in our garden when we lived in Norfolk, probably because of the Broads and a Nature Reserve so close.

Well I went into Bakewell this morning and was in the bookshop so I decided to look in an insect book! I think it was an Emporer Dragonfly going by the colour and size of it. It was about as big as my hand (w00t)

Gillian - that was taken around a little pond near to the summit of Brown Clee where we stopped for a picnic. There were literally hundreds of them, most of them buzzing about but that one was just sat on the grass oblivious to the hungry whippet who had her eye on it!

We also saw a few Kingfishers on that holiday but they were too quick for me :b
