Was pretty lucky to catch this guy flying around
And one of the many Slowies. If you look closely at his mouth, Id say he's been eating something sluggy.

Good pics, the nice big fat 'slowie' is superb.
Unfortunately HannahB the blue insect is a Damsel Fly, it's in same genus of Dragon fly, but are smaller.
The easiest way to tell the difference, (aside from size) is damsel fly wings run parallel to the body at rest, dragon flys do not.
Weirdly, dragon fly eyes are joined up as well, Damsels aren't.
Damsels can be hard to take decent pics of as well, they can normally be quite skittish, so well done for getting those as well. |

Thanks, Kehhlyr.
I must admit, I thought it was a dragonfly as well 
It kept landing and everytime I got close enough for a photo it would hover over to another area of the garden. Dunno what I must have looked like creeping up to it each time.
Thanks for the comments everyone.
Heres a cropped version of the Slow Worm.
He's definatly been munching on something.
