Lesser Emperor

Today was a little dull after yesterdays excitement. With 2 Blackwits, 2 LRPs, 1 Wood Sandpiper, 2 Green Sandpipers, 2 Common Sandpipers, 2 Little Gulls, 50+ Golden Plovers, the Goosander, 3+ Marsh Harriers and the usual wildfowl at the ARC Pit today.
From the fishing boats 1 Bonxie and few terns. The Patch had c30 Common Terns with 2 Black Terns and little else.
At Springfield Bridge this afternoon a Lesser Emperor Dragonfly was showing well but never settled making pictures of it a challenge. It was to fast for auto focus. The 3 images below were done with manual focus.

I am off to Majorka tomorrow for a week, definitely not a birding holiday!
