Keeled Skimmer.

Keeled Skimmer (Orthetrum coerulescens) captured during recent visits to Thursley Common where this species prefers the boggy acidic conditions.


Typical pose when resting... wings held forward and eyes everywhere.   FAB.

    Cheers Angad. They are a little easier than chasing birds in the foliage!

    Hi grammie g. Even I remember Darth Vader!! Patience my dear; sometimes the subject is just waiting but more often I just stand, watch and wait.

    Hi Frank, I love the close up and personal shots of the skimmer.
    Sometimes the objects they pose on are just as interesting as them.

    Hi Lisa. Thank you...the eyes have it!

    Hi Cheryl. This individual was fairly cooperative for once and kept returning to a similar spot so made my time that much more relaxing.
