A VERY rare visitor to the garden and they seldom settle! I would not have obtained this shot with a shorter lens, I got within about 10 feet before it saw me and left.

Nice one. I was watching one of these patrolling his pond recently. As you say, it didn't land anywhere and all I got was a panned blurr

Again have only seen a couple of Dragonflies in the garden this year which is very strange. Great capture

The Autumn issue of the RSPB magazine has just come through the letterbox. It has a couple of pages of wildlife photos sent in by people (members?). I reckon that this photo would have a very good chance of winning a prize.
A few of my photographs in flickr.
Lizars 1910 "Challenge" quarter-plate camera; and some more recent stuff.
