Oliver Romain kindly sent us this photo which he shot in his back garden in Wilmslow town centre.
Oliver said "It's a Common Darter Dragon Fly ( Sympetrum striolatum) male.
"It's not having a fruity snack, it's using the raspberry as a perch from which it will wait for prey and dart off to catch them before returning to the perch."
