User's notes

I think - 1cm or less - long. Very thin - maybe 1mm wide. Black & Yellow Fast flying Didn't stop / hover for more than 1 second, making the pics very hard to get & a bit blur. Not sure if most blurred image is same as the other 2. Could be young dragonfly? or other? may have been more than 1, but not sure.
