Great photos John. And nice find; I haven't seen many of them this year.

Thanks Harvey. I'll keep an eye out for them. Hopefully, one will perch and pose for me. I may have seen others, confused them with Tau emerald, and not bothered to photograph them.

Great work with the flight shot, particularly the one from above (I haven't seen a flight shot taken from that angle before)
