The wet summer has brought the insects out in large numbers and it is hunt and be hunted from the small flies to dragonflies and cicadas.
The dragonflies are very busy hunting, particularly in the morning where they are flitting to and fro catching any flying insect that takes their fancy. They are also being hunted as needle-tail swifts swoop down at speed twisting and turning to take the dragonflies on the wing.
Lots of different dragonflies and yesterday took some photos of ones that I haven't posted before.
