“Can’t a girl get any privacy round here?”

September - Sue

I chased a Southern Hawker Dragonfly round our pond trying to get a photo but she was very fast, then suddenly she alighted on a tree stump and started laying eggs in a crack so i got the shot. She had beautiful markings of black and bright green. She made my day!
A lucky shot! This beautiful Southern Hawker Dragonfly was buzzing around our pond, the first large dragonfly I had seen since our move here June ‘21. Excitedly I tried to follow her, thinking it would be impossible to get a shot as she was so fast. Lo and behold she settled and started laying eggs in and around the tree stump near the pond. Voila! Caught in action!!!
