Azure Hawker (2)

My first sighting of an Azure Hawker (Aeshna caerulea). Noticeably smaller than a Common Hawker, very blue and no yellow. I'd searched various bog pools along Loch Maree with no luck in the overcast and breezy conditions, but found this one perched on a fence post right beside a path at Slattadale. I also found two flying near the Gruinard River the following day.
