Default Dragonflies - slightly OT?

Not strictly gardening, but garden related.
Our pond has so far produced 16 newly hatched emperor dragonflies in
the last 2 days and there are still more to come. Last year we just
had a couple as it was the pond's first full year.
Might sound daft but it's so exciting, can't wait to see how many
there are altogether.
Just wanted to tell someone

You're right. It IS exciting! I'm always thrilled when I see dragonflies.
It's a bit like seeing a kingfisher - they're so exotic that it's almost a
surprise that they exist in our cold and wet island!
What have you got in your pond that attracts them in such abundance?

We are awaiting the hatching of 8 duck eggs and Mrs Duck is beginning to
look a tax fed up, I must say. The level of anticipation here is almost
unbearable - it's like living in a labour ward!
