User's notes

Sometimes I hate mob phone cameras! They only seem to focus when they feel like it, so again apologies for the lack of it (focus that is)! This is a chunky, all-over dark black-brown dragonfly. There appear to be to marks on the outer edges of the upper thorax, and a thin rectangular mark on the outer front edge of fore & hind wings (best seen in photo 2).
