Up close with a Hair Dragonfly that I rescued today 💚
A beautiful Hairy Dragonfly
Scientific Name: Brachytron pratense
Found grounded on the pavement on a busy road - likely collided with a vehicle. I scooped him up carefully, he sat on my hand the whole 2 mile walk past busy roads, until we reached the fields at the end of my road. Where he is now safely resting in a secret spot. I'm just hoping he flies away soon (I will check on him later)
Such incredible vibrant colours.
The smallest, hairiest Hawker that emerges in May. They were once a very rare species in the UK, found only on the most pristine grazing marshes & wetlands 💚
