Common Hawker - male

There were some decent sunny spells this morning and not many birds around so I had another go at dragonfly flight shots at Stonedge.
It takes a lot of patience, the dragonfly seems to know how long it takes to get the camera on it and focus since generally they move just before you are ready to take the shot. This Common Hawker was the best of many attempts. There were perhaps a dozen Common Hawkers and half that of Brown Hawkers.
