Southern Migrant Hawker (Aeshna affinis) - mating pair
messing up the chronology a bit, but here's one from today of these beautiful dragons. Inspired by some shots on Flickr I decided to head east to Essex after some of the Canvey Island babies, and was not disappointed, with dozens obligingly along various ditches, including a couple of pairs that were 'in cop'. Move over mixta's - the new kids on the block hit them for six, in my opinion.
