    Actually, I'd been chasing butterflies around the garden without much success! I was on the verge of giving up when I noticed this dragonfly buzzing around the garden. It took about 10 minutes of pursuit before it finally settled on a buddleia plant (ironically, with a load of butterflies) and I was able to get three or four shots before it disappeared over the fence!

    Taken with Nikon D7500 with 300mm Nikkor lens. Two male Kingfishers possibly adult male and offspring sitting low by the River Crane. Light was low so had to use a high ISO. Because of this the image had to be denoised . It was then cropped and clarity and texture added in Lightroom. I have a nice triptych of them sitting in three different poses.
