The cycle starts again

Best viewed large.
Worked from home today (honestly! I've done loads) but went out with a cuppa and spotted this emperor dragonfly hard at work. I wonder if it is one of the many that emerged from the pond (and have still been emerging even up to yesterday)? More than likely.
In a bit of a rush as I'm going up to the barn owl field. Will finish this later.
