Seen last night about 8:30-9pm, #VolunteerPark, #Seattle - loads of enormous dragonflies zooming around, low and very close - presumably hunting the clouds of small flies buzzing in the evening light.
(Just south of the water tower, at the road entrance to the park - I imagine they'll be there again tonight, insect fans!)
I thought I'd recorded some video on my phone, but managed a couple of terrible photos instead. Ah well. Smartphones: so intuitive.
