Robert Gwilliam was in the Abbey Gardens with his camera enjoying the weather when he spotted this dragonfly buzzing around.

"The dragonfly was flying around in the gardens. I waited for it to land and took this picture," he said.

Last month Simon Briggs was named June's winner of Star Witness after he captured a pair of nags who were enjoying a relaxing day at the top of the Long Mynd in Shropshire.

Mr Briggs. from Oakengates in Telford, said: "I took this on a day that I had gone out walking on my own with a camera, a Nikon D30-100, on the Long Mynd.

"I was just walking about and I came across these two horses chilling," he added.

"They were great fun to watch, very friendly and of course very photogenic.

"I just do photography as a hobby at the moment, but I would like to take it more seriously in the near future."

Mr Briggs, a retail merchandiser with Schwartz, was delighted to win £100 for the image.

  • If you get any pictures of creepy crawlies then send them in to our star witness gallery and be in with a chance of winning £100.
