A Migrant Hawker dragonfly darts along the edge of the reedbed in search of small insects to devour.
Sie sitzt nicht oft still.
Die rund acht Zentimeter große Libelle kann durch ihren außergewöhnlichen Flugapparat eine Geschwindigkeit von 50 Stundenkilometern erreichen – und sogar rückwärts fliegen.

♂Aeshna affinis (Vander Linden,1820). Habia volando a nuestro alrededor varios ejemplares, acercándose a veces tanto que no entraban en el encuadre de la cámara. Aguna se paro y se dejo retratar. Pasamos unos dias increibles de amigos y bichos en Carboneras de Guadazaón, Cuenca.
La Balsa del Algar es una mina !. Es un ecosistema con 20 especies de odonatos aproximadamente y con mucha actividad. Ese día esta parthenope se nos mostró de frente, poco habitual ya que suelen patrullar rodeando el sitio por donde nos colocamos a la espera de poder dispararles y mi colega Pipa y yo nos pudimos llevar alguna que otra frontal de esta maravilla. También contamos ocho tandem de Anax ephippiger que no se dejaros retratar !
♂ Aeshna affinis (Vander Linden, 1820) in flight. Anisopteran odonate belonging to the Aehsnidae family (Anax and Aeshna), where the largest and fastest dragonflies in the world are found, difficult to see as well as curious, it is very close, with gentle flight which allows you to take photographs.
The Aeshna isoceles is a small hawker dragonfly that is found in Europe, mostly around the Mediterranean, and the lowlands of North Africa. Its common name in English is the green-eyed hawker, and is known as the Norfolk hawker. It has a brown colour with green eyes and clear wings and also a yellow triangular mark on the second abdominal segment which gave rise to its scientific name. It used to be in the genus Anaciaeschna as it has several differences from the other members of the genus Aeshna. Its specific name is often spelt isosceles.
A. isoceles is one of only two brown hawkers found in Europe, the other is A. grandis. Both have a brown thorax and abdomen but A. isoceles has green eyes and clear wings and a diagnostic yellow triangular mark on the second abdominal segment. The hindwings have an amber patch at their base. In contrast A. grandis has yellowish wings and blueish eyes. The green eye of A. isoceles stands out even in flight and in practice it is not difficult to tell these two dragonflies apart. In addition to the morphological differences A. isoceles is on the wing much earlier in the year than A. grandis.
A. isoceles is found in central Europe and around the Mediterranean and, the lowlands of North Africa. It is more common in eastern Europe than the south western Europe; it occurs in Spain and Portugal but is local.
It is found in wet areas, ponds, ditches and marshes, with dense vegetation with Water-soldier (Stratiotes aloides).
🇪🇸♂Anax ephippiger en vuelo en el Hondo, no hacia mucho calor y no aparecieron muchas como nos habian comentado, pero bueno, alguna apareció y pudimos hacerle alguna foto, ni mucho menos lo que esperabamos pero la naturaleza es así.
🇺🇸♂ The vagrand emperor was flying in the Hondo, it was not very hot and not many appeared as we had been told, but hey, some did appear and we were able to take some photos of them, far from what we expected but nature is like that.

A medium sized hawker flying in late summer to early autumn. It is also called as horsebiter, but that's only a name. They are eating insect such as flying ants.This species may be confused with Aeshna juncea. Feeds mainly in the afternoon and evening. When perched they hang vertically to catch as much sunlight as possible.
The male is brown with blue markings. The female (above) is brown with yellow markings.
♂ Blue-eyed hawker was flying in Lagunas de Pétrola, Albacete. I was able to release the new objective and the results are fantastic for me. I hope that also for you
Came across this male Green Darner resting in a tree during my evening hike through Bronte Creek Provincial Park, Oakville, Ontario.
Con sus planeos, con sus quiebros, con sus idas y vueltas, una y otra, y otra vez, hacen perder la paciencia a quienes esperan que se pose. Anax imperator. ¡Incansable!
