Four spot

As it was sunny I decided to have a day out looking for Odonata in Cheshire close to the Dee. It may have been sunny but it was really cold and windy and insects were hard to find. This male Four-spotted Chaser had very recently emerged, as can be seen from the shiny wings which are typical of teneral specimens. It was low in the grass trying to keep out of the wind, and thus quite easy to approach.
