Well, one dragon(fly) anyway.
My first spotting this year.
A Southern Hawker seen dashing around the tall hedge next to the cricket field.
They usually arrive here about this time of year to feed on the small insects.
Thank you for visiting. Hope you enjoyed the pictures. Any comment, or correction to any information or identification I get wrong, is most welcome. John
A good capture.
ReplyDeleteI can never tell between them and migrant hawkers - always think migrant hawkers are bluer
ReplyDeleteSimon: Southern appears to have bolder yellowish markings on head and thorax. Otherwise they are very similar.
DeleteA super photo - we had a dragonfly in the garden recently but no chance of getting a photo as it was whizzing around everywhere!
ReplyDeleteRR: Thank you. It was fortunate it rested for a while. Other days they haven't stopped flying while I've seen them.
