Dragonflies

There is still plenty of dragonfly action around the pond - in residence currently are Common Darters. At first I thought it was a different darter as the males weren't the usual brick-red colour that I associate with this dragonfly. However after lots of checking involving binos and scope I think it must be the Common Darter (Sympetrum striolatum). There was also a Southern Hawker in the house this afternoon.
