A Teasel, in the sunlight..
.
A Blue Tit.
This next one was one of those lucky shots.
.
Pied Wagtail. He took off, just as I took the shot.
.
.
A butterfly………
.
Meadow Brown
.
.
I had a little mess around trying to capture some dragons in flight. Here’s a couple I like.
.
.
.
A Four-spotted Chaser
.
.
.
.
The damsel is a Common Blue, and I think the dragon, dipping his rear end, is a Common Darter. .
.
Pretty certain this one is a Common Darter.
.
.
Enjoy the weekend, whatever you are doing; and if you are working…….don’t work too hard.

This young Mute Swan has a fearful look in his eye.
.
.
.
He had been chased and relentlessly pursued through some reeds and bushes, by a very aggressive male swan.

And I’ll finish for now with another butterfly.

.
. A Marbled White.

Hi keith,
This is a beautiful set and I love the wagtail and the blue tit... Here we have too much clouds and it is not worse going out for birding.
Hi Keith, another great selection of images, superb stuff.
Thanks Chris. A bit cloudy here now. Glad I went out earlier.
Thanks Bob. :)
Great wagtail capture Keith - I really like your bird action photos..
Thanks Phil. I was dead lucky with that one; he flew just at the right time :)
A morning well spent by the looks of it, a mixed bag indeed but not in terms of quality these are all cracking...The mute swan looks likes he's going to take a big gulp and make a gesture with his wing across his neck as if to let you know that he's in deep do do. 1,2 & 9 are my favorites today the colours are great. Happy snapping Keith..
A really nice set of images Keith.
Cool bugs in flight. Like the rest, too.
I really like the bugs in flight. Good work!
Beautiful photos! I really enjoyed looking at them.
Yeah great ones :)
The Wagtail is superb !!
And your flying dragons .... hmmm makes me just jealous ! I try and try and never get one single good shot - lol !
Enjoy the rest of your weekend ;)
Thank you Debbie. That poor swan had a tough time from the bully. I felt quite sorry for him.
Bob, thank you :)
JoLynne, thank you for your comment :)
Thanks for stopping by, and commenting Shelley, glad you enjoyed them.
Pescalune, thank you. I need to practice more with the dragons; but good fun trying.
You came back with some winners!! I love the action in the wagtail shot...the dragons are super too!! Have a great rest of the weekend..today was grass cutting day here at my home!
What a wonderful day! I am just experimenting with some photo loading - usually takes an age but we'll see eh?
You deserved another good day....lovely selection Keith. Good job on the 4S-Chaser.
Some great shots you pulled off here Keith. The teasel is brilliant.
Great collection again Keith. I like the Marbled White Butterfly.
Wonderful lighting, especially in the first 2 shots. I can hardly get a decent shot of dragons when they are sitting still, much less flying!
cheers,
Wilma
Dixxe, thank you for your comment.
Cutting grass doesn't take me too long in my small garden lol
mrsnesbitt, thank you for stopping by, and leaving a comment. I'll pop by later and see how you've done ;)
Cheers Frank. I think a bit of sun makes such a difference to how the day goes :)
Thanks Roy :)
Trevor, thank you. :)
Wilma, thank you. It's good fun trying to get the dragons when they fly. I had a lot of luck with these. lol
A lovely collection again Keith, the light in the Teasel photo is beautiful. I find it incredibly difficult to capture damsels and dragons in flight. I was trying to find Marbled Whites yesterday in a place where they were last year but no luck. The poor Swan did have a fearful look in its eye!
Jan, thank you. I popped over the lake again this morning, to see the swan. He looked much happier swimming around; no sign of the bully. :)
Trying to capture a dragon in flight is not easy and not the way to keep a clam heartbeat ;) The 3rd picture worked well.
I planted some teasel seeds last year but they don't seem to have produced anything.
Thanks John. Yea, I agree; those dragons can be frustrating lol
Some great shots! I love that pied wagtail one. :-)
Thank you Kerry :)
I always feel like I've been out and about with you when viewing your photos. I'm glad one us remembered the camera. ;)
Thanks Hilary; glad you enjoyed it :)
Wow,what a lot of great pics! Greetings from Luzia.
Thank you Luzia :)
Brilliant collection of photography and I must say very inspirational as well.
Hope all is going great across the pond.
Thanks Lisa. Appreciate your comments. Things are going pretty good here lol
