The last few days have seen me taking a few shots whenever I can of Dragonflies and Damselflies at Westbere and Reculver. In the last couple of years I have become more interested in them having not really known the identity of many as they have flown by but I am slowly getting there. As ever, there is so much to learn but capturing these winged wonders on camera has been pretty good and with so many species unseen by me I look forward to the rest of the year. I was also treated the other day to a Stoat moving young rabbits across an opening. At first I thought it was moving its own young as I know they do this but soon saw that they were indeed dinner, no doubt for young hungry mouths. Its often hard to see a Stoat and it must have moved 6 or 7 rabbits across the opening so it was pleasing to capture this secretive animal on the camera. A few busy days ahead but I can't wait for the next outing to see what Dragonflies are on the wing to be captured. Hopefully this good weather will continue.
