The dragonfly looks like a Wandering Glider [i]Pantala flavescens[/i]. Interesting to see a wagtail with one, I didn't realise they took such big prey items

Sorry location was Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter

"Ocularis" and takeaway meal

To David S. - Thanks for the dragonfly ID, they are still a mystery to me

To Bob T. - this just shows that a cold snap can can make us all hungry !

:-)
