Wicken Fen on a Dismal Day

Today was cold and grey - more like February than mid May. We went to Wicken looking to photograph Hobbies catching mayflies - the mayflies were all immobile in the reeds and I only saw one distant Hobby . There were several Cuckoos; the lady above nearly trod on this one before it broke cover. Also caught in flight Marsh Harrier, Black-headed Gull (picking mayflies out of the reeds), Swift and Kestrel

They are mayflies rather than dragonflies - not sure of species as there are several but will look up at some stage
