Thanks Trev. I've seen these a few times, but they're usually very nervous and hard to approach. This one was friendlier though and kept returning to the same perch, allowing me to slowly approach it and get a nice shot. I don't usually use the 300mm f4 for macro, but in this case, it was the right lens, for the right job.

Dragonflies & Damselflies usually hook onto grass/stems like that I've found.

When approaching them, move slow and keep low and no sudden movements.

Dave
