Each of the flowers were slightly different
but all lacked the purple speculum seen in the typical form.
Yesterday I went to look for Dragonflies at Lower Bruckland Ponds and saw most of the usual suspects seen at this time of year and photographed a few.
Four-spotted Chaser
Black-tailed Skimmers.
Scarce Chaser, I just love the blue eyes on these.
I actually managed to get a flight shot of a Beautiful Demoiselle!
Well, sort of.

Can I just say that I copied your moth trap "vanes" this afternoon, using cardboard rather than plastic, and already it is producing many satisfying "thunks" as large moths clatter into it and then down the funnel. Excellent idea, though if it is as successful as you say, I will be spending hours going through them.

Gorgeous dragons, Karen! How did you get so close?? [Or do you just have a massive zoom on your camera? ;) ]
[[As you may be unsurprised to learn, I've no idea about the orchids! ;) ]]
Hope it works Jonathan. Here's wishing you many concussed moths! ;-)
Yes Tom, super-zoom (20x) Not brilliant for birds but great for dragons! ;-)
love the dragonfly photos:)
If you're still scrounging willow leaves, you're welcome to help yourself from our tree - Steve knows where I live :)
