I was putting some washing when I noticed this sat on the fence

I think its a dragonfly, It defo had two pairs of wings, but that was the only decent photo I managed to get of it.
Nice shot, ive noticed one or two round here too, good to know they are still around.

That it is, nice pic. Is that at close range or was that the zoom? Don't know much about cameras just looks great!

That it could, but its my neighbours fence !!!
toonyank - I've got a Nikon D40 SLR with a 200mm zoom lens so I got as close as I dared without disturbing it and then used them the zoom lens to that shot.
Wideboy - Nah its much bigger than a wasp, huge great big thing :cool:

Thats a brilliant shot
I've seen some big dragonflies around maria's garden, and my brother has lots of dragonflies similar to that (and some blue ones) that live around his pond

To be fair I did amaze myself at the time !
