Sometimes the big guys aren't very cooperative so I take what I can get. I actually enjoy catching the odd dragonfly.

Fowlers Toad

Great pictures Mike. I have a book on dragonflies somewhere in the house and should be able to identify them as long as they occur in Europe. I think the last one is a clubtail but I need to find the book first.

Well I found my book but I'm sorry I could not pin them down, no pun intended.
The first looks like some kind of darter, the nearest I could come up with is common darter.
The second is puzzling, I could not find a match in my book, the nearest I could find was blue dasher.
The last one looks like a hooktail.
Sorry I can't be more helpful but birds are my area of expertise.

Thanks Adrian! I was wondering about the ID on these guys. I'll need to get a book. I'll check Amazon. They are fun to photograph but I'm still trying to get one in flight. Thanks again for the help.
