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.
