Thanks, scorpionflies are a pin to photograph, pretty flighty and 'interesting' shape for nailing DOF. Think these are the best and I ended up firing off quite a few with the head OoF!
You would be most welcome on one of my workshops. Not sure what the rules are on posting links to such things on here though so I wont post a link to the details about them!

No not been to Wat Tyler although I'm sure I should.
Spent quite a lot of time on Hadleigh downs last year, lots of interest there and someone with more knowledge than me might be able to spot the rare bees (shrill and brown carder iirc)
Only spotted two types of dragonflies though. You might be interested in the willow emerald damsel tho, not sure if they can be seen at Wat Tyler?

Wat Tyler is good for dragonflies and damsels, but the many dog walkers present can ruin the experience for some and make sure any birds are out of reach.
Hadleigh is great, not been there this year,though I hear recent changes to make it more cycle friendly have lead to some regular not being happy when the cyclist inevitably go off the multi user path and down the narrow paths at speed.
Not had Willow emerald is the only 1 of the 4 not yet recordered at Wat Tyler CP, though I reckon its a matter of time...

Lovely shots Neil, there are varieties here I have not seen in my neck of the woods (Sheffield) despite there being plenty of water and nature reserves near to where I live.
