Here be dragons
The clear skies and sunshine have resulted in a resurgence of dragonfly activity locally, after a poor summer season. This Common Darter had seen better days.
A Southern Hawker was surprisingly difficult to detect against the autumn leaves.
The new camera allowed me to get an (albeit blurry) flight shot of a patrolling male Migrant Hawker.
Face to face.
I spotted this pair ovipositing...
... just before they were spooked by a carp, and took shelter in some nearby reeds.
