A Common Darter - on a reasonable perch too! (10224492064)

Description:

Description: I had a morning stroll around my local nature reserve at Dunyeats Hill. It is noticeable how much less bug life there is about. The ever present crane flies and big spiders of a few weeks ago have gone. Hardly any grasshoppers are to be found and most of the dragonflies are Common Darters I was pleased with this one as it landed on some heather, they usually prefer to bask on the ground or fence rails at this time of year.
