It was frosty this morning and a sunny but cold day - ideal for a walk on Lyme Park - but this was the last thing I expected to see. I saw this dragonfly, flying around and eventually it settled - enough to allow me in close with my macro lens. While I was getting a shot (and wet knees) a Comma butterfly almost landed in my lap - but it flew off before I could get a shot. I think this may be a Southern Hawker but id confirmation welcomed.
A couple more shots below.
