The dragonfly looks like a Wandering Glider Pantala flavescens. Interesting to see a wagtail with one, I didn't realise they took such big prey items Author: tbob Time: 18/11/2009 12:18
Sorry location was Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter Author: John Holmes Time: 18/11/2009 20:09 Subject: "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 !
:-)
John
