User's notes

Very surprised to see this tiny dragon out and about in mid-May! Saw it moving through the longish grass, and then it popped up on the side of a rock, facing me, possibly hadn't noticed me at that point. I tried to get around to photograph it, but then it did notice me and scampered off again in the long grass.
