At the lake this morning, I was unsuccessful in my attempts to take a good photo of the New Zealand Dabchick. I did manage to capture a photo of the Uropetala carovei | Bush giant dragonfly on the wing. Previous pics have been on my hand.




just curious. How did you attract a dragonfly to your hand? I’ve tried to photograph some but it’s tricky to get close without making them fly off.

@ChrisJWilson Heh, no attraction required. In summer they tend to fly inside the house and then get 'stuck' in a corner of a window or something. I just cup my hands round them and take them outside.
