Slaying of the dragon

A Four-spotted Chaser Basks in the sun

a nearby Hobby watches and waits

the Chaser now warm, takes to the air to defend the pond

and so does the Hobby in need of breakfast

the Chaser does not notice

the Hobby rises to get a veiw of the pond

and spots the Chaser

the Chaser does not see the Hobby

the Hobby starts the hunt

the Chaser still does not see the Hobby

the Hobby dives

the Chaser banks sharp left

the Chaser banks sharp right

another easy catch......

eaten on the wing.

the Hobby again rises to survey the pond ( click on pic for higher resolution)

The next chapter (in your dreams!)
