A few tasters for the coming dragonfly season

My PC has been straining with too many images and so it was time to clear out a few Gig. Checking through the dragonfly folders brought back a few great memories and so I hope you don't mind me sharing a few with you.
All the pictures posted were taken at disused Kettlewell Reservoir in St Ives.
Any id corrections would be appreciated.

Black-tailed Skimmer

Emerald Damselfly

Emerald Damselfly. I watched this pair 'walk' backwards down the stem until both were fully submerged where presumably egg laying took place - I daren't risk the camera.

Photogenic Emperor smiling for the camera!

Large Red Damselfly.

Cottingley Fairies.

This picture shows just four of the 200-300 that had emerged on this magical morning last July.

Common Darter.
