With the weather finally warm and sunny I headed for the west of Cheshire in search of Odonata and had a great day on the Dee and nearby marlpits. This male Four-spot was busy working his territory on a pond at Churton.

The visit to the marlpits at Churton saw lots of dragonfly action. Patience was rewarded when this male Hairy Dragonfly landed right in front of me and stayed around long enough for a few portraits.

It was a fine sunny day for looking at dragonflies and a trip to west Cheshire yielded plenty of action. These are a tandem pair of Hairy Dragonflies ( Brachytron pratense ) at a marl pit in Churton.
