After 24 days of my photos for the 2023 here's someone else's picture. E H Shepard's famous image of a dragonfly surveyor in Ashdown Forest recording a Banded Demoiselle. Happy Christmas to those who celebrate, happy holidays to those who don't and happy dragonfly-watching in 2024 to one and all.

An illustration from The House At Pooh Corner of a moment when Pooh decides to sit in the sun on a stone in the river. Although not mentioned in the text of the book, in the picture he is clearly watching a dragonfly which appears to be making a display flight. This is very likely to be a Banded Demoiselle although Beautiful Demoiselle is also found in that part of Sussex.
