OK am I lucky the third time. Are the following two pictures of Scarce Chaser which I have just taken this afternoon? I believe that I read on the British Dragonfly Society web page that the markings on the abdomen where the female has been grabbing is diagnostic.

And the second picture where I forgot to zoom in so is quite heavily cropped.

Both taken with a CP880 + TC-E3 ED

Looking at those 2 pics from Dave , I believe I may poss have mis-id'd an 'unusual looking Black Tail Skimmer' about 10 days ago in the Berney area.

Can't be really sure but the very much darker area at the base of the wings, and the abdomen colour & tip maybe seem to point to it.

Food for thought next visit.

Well done Dave, and thanks for posting them
