I was lucky to have spotted this dragonfly hovering around the pond late this afternoon... we've not seen any in the garden in over a year.
I was hoping it might have deposited some eggs in the pond, although it didn't appear to be going near the water- it was landing on bricks and plants around the edges and it acted as though it was egg-laying... or is it doing something else? I hurried to get the camera before it flew away, so only got a few photos of its behaviour.
It was a large one- I could hear it making a sound similar to a humming bird as it flew about.
