Hawker Dragonfly102 viewsthis Hawker had somehow managed to land in the water & was struggling for it's life, alas it was well out of reach or I would've scooped it out & put it somewhere to dry out .

Migrant Hawker49 viewsphotographed from Public Hide @ Leighton Moss RSPB reserve, likely to be a Migrant Hawker because of it's characteristically stopping mid air & hovering for a few seconds every so often - a good time to try & focus on them & get a shot.

Migrant Hawker Aeshna mixta55 viewsPublic Hide @ Leighton Moss RSPB reserve is a terrific place to try & get shots of Dragonflies in flight as they patrol up & down right in front of the hide, it probably takes 50 shots to get one decent one, but can be worth the effort.

Southern Hawker Aeshna cyanea59 viewstaken into the sun from distance using my 500mm lens which resulted in quite unusual colours. Now ID'd as a Southern Hawker becuase: - the size of its antehumeral stripes, the lack of yellow along the costa eliminates Common Hawker, the stripes on the 9th and 10th abdomen segments (rather than spots), & the small size of the anal clasper rules out Migrant Hawker.
