Female Common Darter dragonfly

Andy M spotted these female Common Darter dragonflies patrolling a sunny glade in Lagden's Grove, which were very obligingly landing on prominent sunny perches, allowing some close-up photos.

According to 'British-Dragonflies': https://british-dragonflies.org.uk/species/common-darter/
'Common Darter are frequently found away from water, resting on the tops of plants in woodland rides. Similar in appearance to other Darter species, particularly the Ruddy Darter, the Common Darter can be separated by its pale leg stripes, and black wings spots' both of which could easily be discerned!
