One walk, two dragonflies

... and I managed to catch a photo of each of them, when they obligingly rested in the hedgerow. They're amazingly well camouflaged; should never have spotted them if I hadn't seen them in flight first.

The top one, I think, is an emperor -- possibly a female Lesser Emperor dragonfly (Anax parthenope), and the bottom one, a Golden-ringed dragonfly (Cordulegaster boltonii). If you're able to confirm or correct me, I'd be very grateful. They were both beautiful, that much I do know!
