Later I went out on my own and walked up to Green Pond in Crossroads where I checked around for Dragons. There were lots, possibly 60+ Azure Damselflies, a couple of male Large Red Damselflies (Pyrrhosoma nymphula) and a single male Broad-bodied Chaser (Libellula depressa).

There were a few other insects whizzing around but I only got a shot of a Hoverfly Species before I headed Back.
