Ogden Walk


   Yesterdays walk around Ogden produced, Swift, Swallows,
    Kestrel with prey, Stonechats, Meadow Pipits, LBB Gulls,
    Dipper, Wrens and Robins down by the stream and a Southern
    Migrant Hawker Dragonfly. Saturday afternoon a Red Kite could
    be heard from my garden but not seen.

I've been puzzling over the dragonfly Dave. From the thickness of the black lines on the side of the thorax, could it be a Migrant Hawker?

It is Peter a Southern Migrant Hawker

Hi Guys. Nice shots but the dragonfly is a Southern Hawker, the large yellow spots on the Thorax behind the eyes are diagnostic of this species. Southern Migrant Hawker is an extremely rare migrant and Migrant Hawker, whilst can be abundant, is normally on the wing during August and September.
