Title: Da Brid has a friend!!!! ....

.... or maybe an enemy!

I have just been in the garden playing with Rossi and Zephyr and "Da Bird" when we were suddenly joined by a huge (at least 3-4 inch) bright red dragonfly  :Luv:  As I was flying "Da Bird" round the dragonfly was wooshing round behind.  I like to think dragonfly was trying to make friends but in reality I think it was trying to scare the "intruder" off it's patch.  I regularly have dragonfly's patrolling round the buddliea bush hunting bugs and buttrfleis but they are usually smaller blue ones.  This one was stunning, huge and stroppy!

BC my "garden" is the about the size of a postage stamp but i do have a very healthy buddleia bush so I get loads of insects ... easy prey for Dragonfly's.  I also live about 5 mins drive from the River Trent.

mmmmmmmmmm for me they are the sun on the reed beds along the river at the edge of the bottom paddock of the place I grew up, or over the road in the bird sanctuary where I spent my days wading around in over-the-top-of-the-wellies water observing the nesting habits of the local birds. Hot sun, shimmery haze, wet smell of reeds, soft wind............. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
