Sam Nerrie, long time local nature photographer has just won a 3rd place(Macro)  in the International Photography awards with this image of two Common Bluetail (ischnura heterosticta) Damselflies. It's a great image, taken in Bournda National Park, but she is a bit confused as she thought the female of the species should be brown. Any ideas anyone?

Sam is offering to run a Macro Photography course in the next school holidays, probably at Wallagoot Lake and Manna Park.

Sunday 23rd April 9:00am - 1:30pm. Best photos are in the morning and it is low tide at noon.

The cost will be $120 pp, Atlas members 10% discount. Includes morning tea. There will be a limit of 10 people so please let us know if you are interested. info@atlasoflife.org.au

Great chance to learn from an expert, and it will help improve your sightings records on the Atlas too!
