Freedom in the sun

We hope to get some work in the next few weeks that will see us through the autumn; meanwhile I was free from mid-afternoon so I went out to see what I could find. A wheatear was foraging in mown grass on the wetlands.

On Dorney Common, a whinchat was among thistles by the stream. The south bank of the wetlands is in the background.

This dragonfly was in the garden this morning. I think it's a female Common Darter.
