A few days ago I went on a Dragonfly shoot in local woodland.
There is one large pond that is generally inhabited by various Dragon/Damselflies at this time.
The first set of images feature the Four-spotted Chaser.
One Four-spot below in flight with a female Broad-bodied behind out of focus.

Inflight shots below of the Broad-bodied Chaser.
Some images of a female in the act of ovipositing.

Female (Common ?) Migrant, I am not quite sure about the ID and its the only two long distant images I took of it, but its a female ovipositing.
