    Common Hawker?

    Tony, Just saw your previous post. How did I miss it? Glad you got the feedback from them and that the ID is secured.

    Common Hawker?

    I think it was the Common Blue Damselfly I was thinking of in immature male stage. Just looked it up.

    Surreybirder, I was told about this group too, I think I should give them a look. Tony, I think there is a yellow and blackish damselfly but you can't mistake a Damselfly for a Dragonfly. As you said, yours was big enough for a meal!

    No, you have as much right to see anything others have not seen. Might be a good idea to email them. Let us know how it goes.

    Common Hawker?

    Tony, Golden Ringed has been seen at the Borrow Pit in Seaton Marshes which is why I said they had been seen in Devon. Surreybirder, it was difficult to see as it flew about a lot and it was about ten minutes before I got the chance to take a pic.

    Gosh, sounds like Golden Ringed or summat like that. There are a few in Devon.

    Common Hawker?

    Was yours black and blue or greeny blue, if so then might be Emperor?

    Common Hawker?

    Many thanks, better go to File Manager and change the file name. Admittedly my picture is quite poor, I was shooting about 80 degrees upwards as it was in a thorny (Hawthorn/Buckthorn) tree and there was a lot of blue sky behind. That reduces the clarity of the mixed colours but I stared hard...

    Common Hawker?

    Getting a bit confused here, are you agreeing my pic is a Migrant or Adey's pic? Is mine definitely a Common, that is what I believe it is.

    Common Hawker?

    That's great, did you use Photoshp elements and what did you do?

    Common Hawker?

    Hello folks, am I right in thinking this is a Common Hawker as opposed to a Migrant Hawker?
