Dragonflies and damselflies

There are dragonflies and damselflies aplenty on site at the moment - a sure sign that summer is here (although the weather some days tells a different story!).

These pictures were taken at the Pondzone area, where a school on a day trip were lucky enough to watch as the Southern hawker naiad (the name of the immature form that a dragonfly takes) found the weak spot behind the head of its larval skin and pushed through to emerge into the June sunshine.

Isn't nature amazing!?
