Keeled Skimmer
Reference: DR45
Location: Latchmore Brook, New Forest
Gallery: Dragonflies,
Keeled Skimmers are wary but it helps that males often come back to the same perch and so I set up the 600mm lens and waited and sure enough he came back. With long lens combinations like this you really need a tripod to maximize your chances of getting sharp images.
