'More' Hairy Encounters

Well the weekends nearly over and I haven't been able to get out for a single session, my only comfort was that it was quite rainy and windy so hopefully I wasn't missing any dragonfly photo opportunities. During the back end of last week I took a number of photos of the Hairy Dragonflies, both male and female shots were taken as were some pairs mating. Their flight period is quite short so I have taken every attempt to get a few shots in the bag. Here are a few more from last week. Hopefully mid week the sun is forecast to shine and the winds drop so maybe a visit out for some Scarce Chaser action and maybe I will bump into a Four potted or Broad bodied Chaser as well!
