Dragonfly.
Back in November 2021 when walking in a local nature park I was able to capture this image of a dragonfly warming itself on the oak handrail of a small bridge. Up until that date I have never been able to photograph this type of insect because whilst on the wing they are too fast for me. I imagine because of the very low temperature on that particular morning, it was more concerned about getting warm that it was about my presence. I have looked in a small pocket book that I have on insects but cannot be sure about its type because the pictures of similarly looking insects state that they are rare visitors to the UK. Perhaps unknowingly I have scored a first on two counts. The image was captured using the camera on my iPhone.
