Description
Thanks for viewing !
Comments are welcome...
When i arrived at one of my shooting places
yesterday i was quite amazed to see so much
dragons flying around. There must have been
hundreds... To my dissapointment they would
rarely sit down, occasionally one would hang
on a twig. I believe its an Migrant Hawker,
Aeshna mixta but i cant be totally sure.
Some info: Migrant Hawkers hunt low to the water,
where they often clash and compete with Common
Darters. The male is characterised by bright
blue markings on the abdomen and yellow stripes
on the thorax. Females are brown and black and
much harder reliably to identify, mainly as
they spend most time away from water.
In sunny weather before the main oviposting
season, swarms of immature males can often be
seen hawking around open woodlands catching
flying insects--a good time to see them is the
ant flying season.
Hope you like :o)
Thanks for all your wonderful comments on
my last upload, "One Legged Freak" !!
Many thanks,

Absolutely exquisite, you've done it again! Great macro work, I love dragonflies, they rarely stay still long enough to get a good capture, but it's funny how they always seem to like dive bombing around me! Congratulations!

Great to have a place like this. Provides us with images such as this. :-) A little to much background for me, but the dragon itself is pure perfection!
