Field Notes

Notes:

This was the second new species for me yesterday. The Emperor Dragonfly (Anax imperator). I've been watching these gyus flying around for over two year now, and finally I saw one standing! It gave me the time to take only very few shots before flying again. Amazing animal, very big dragonfly.
