Southern Hawker dragonfly (The Marshes, Lydney)

My mum was ever so enthralled by your birthday greeting to her, and, so did I.
This weeks started with a nice day, plenty of sun and without any wind, it was lovely. As far as the remainder goes, um, I think it will be a naughty. Wet!!!!!!!!!


He seems to be eating a ladybird or ladybug.
