That said, I did manage to find a Banded Demoiselle (Damselfly), which I ended up stalking with my 55-250mm lens at full zoom, and got a few shots (unfortunately never from the desired angle).

Cuerden Valley Park
I decided to brave the heat today and head off to Cuerden park. Unfortunately, it was over-run by untethered dogs, being allowed to run free, in and out of the stream and surrounding banks, making it virtually impossible to find a 'virgin' patch of undisturbed wildlife.
That said, I did manage to find a Banded Demoiselle (Damselfly), which I ended up stalking with my 55-250mm lens at full zoom, and got a few shots (unfortunately never from the desired angle).
Whilst taking a break, resting on a bench seat, I spotted an orange speck on some foliage about 3 metres away. On closer inspection I found it to be a Ladybird (7 spot variety). It was fairly motionless (probably baked in the sun) which gave me ample time to switch lenses to a 100mm Macro f/2.8 and get in fairly close, with the result below.
