Dragon Fly

Spotted this on a countryside walk today.

Can any of our resident experts let me know what it is?

I'm not an expert Garry but I think that it's a wide bodied chaser.

It's pretty straightforward - as they used to say on Catchphrase "say what you see"
It's a chaser and has 4 spots, so it's a Four Spotted Chaser (yes, i know it's got 8 spots, don't confuse the issue).

Anyway here's a good link for you Cathus

Great shot, by the way. Have you got a larger version to look at?

All the best, Sie

Oops, forgot to add that it's a cracking pic.

Yup, nice shot of a Four-spotted Chaser!
