A slight reprieve in the gloomy weather this morning afforded me the option of getting out and about amongst the reeds and I had chance to look around a small private pond I have been allowed access to.
Impressively sized and stunningly coloured the Migrant Hawker is an impressive member of the Odonata, this was one of many defending territory over the reed beds today.
A small Emerald Damselfly showed albeit briefly before being chased off by one of the Southern Hawkers.
The gorgeous Black Darter, there was a small number of these jet black beauties basking around the pond margins and at times would be quite confiding.
The most numerous of the pond dragons by far, the Common Darter.
