4 spotted chaser

Not too shabby - very nice

I saw a blue type - almost metallic blue, shiny one that about 3 folks with a tripod, mono-pod and just handheld were following along a river this bank holiday. I wanted to try my hand but those folk had got there first.

Stands a chance it probably was going by the blueness of its abdomen. I only saw it flittering about from a distance as the camera crew were all over it. One guy nearly fell in the river getting his monopod close and stuck in amongst the reeds. I'd have felt for him and his camera had that happened.
