Landing Pad- Naturally

Still in Norbury Park and this time on a bridge over the River Mole. I must say the river here particularly is sill showing signs of the winter floods, in many places there is debris in the river and especially up against bridges where fallen trees are still jammed up against the brickwork making dams. This is a nightmare waiting to happen I reckon as any flash floods will only cause more flooding as the flow of the river is blocked by the rubbish collected at these points. However the fallen trees do make great landing pads for the dragonflies ( and any other flying creature )and to get this shot I was hanging over the brickwork of the bridge- the things us lot do for a shot.

A typical Sunday afternoon in a rural setting and one can hear the sound of a cricket ball and the willow. The cricket pitch is in the village of Mickleham and not far from Box Hill School. Image cannot be loaded

On a bridge over the River Mole on the edge of Norbury Park near to Mickleham the world of the dragonfly was none stop. They were constantly on the move and very hard to capture, groups of 3,4 and more were darting around the surface of the water while a couple or so of green colour dragonflies on the bridge parapet next to me watching all the action down below.
