That looks a lovely walk Lovely photos. Great photo of the dragonfly. I thought they were usually a turquoisy blue colour.

Yes, obviously a different species of dragonfly

I wonder if males and females are a different colour, as with some birds?

Good question I have just had a quick google and found that there are 57 different species of dragonfly in the uk, so I’m guessing this is just one of them

Interesting!

Today’s walk in the autumn sunshine The cows are Belted Galloways, and I think the sheep are a rare breed, Norfolk Horn.

Had a lovely, sunny walk today at a local reservoir with plenty of birdlife…saw mallards, coots, moorhens, tufted ducks, Canada, grey lag and Egyptian geese, cormorants, swans and egrets

Lovely! I haven't taken any photos for ages Except when we were away between Christmas and New Year and that was in a city so not wildlife. Didn't take many either. Spring bulbs will be coming out soon. Our snowdrops are out.

I have some hellebores which I have now planted in the garden

Such a lovely place to walk, and nice bit of sunshine for a change
Here is my window box at the moment with some new plants. The tiny apple seedling from last year is dormant, but has a tiny velvety bud. I'm hoping it will survive. It's about two centimetres high
