Among the Blooming Heather - a photo on Flickriver

            An immature male Black Darter (Sympetrum danae) hides in the heather near Bar Brook in the east Derbyshire peaks.

I'd seen a couple of adult males flying slowly but this fresh unit was particularly small with feeble flight, so perhaps he was struggling. The weather forecast said it would be sunny with low wind (which is why I drove up there) but the reality was overcast and very gusty; not so good for insects (or photographers). Later the wind dropped and the sun shone, and lots of tiny flies took to the air. Hopefully this chap found sustenance.
