migrant southern hawker

I like this, Lovely colours on it too.
 
These always seem to blend into the BG when ever I look for them - despite being so brightly coloured ;)

That's a cracking shot Jeff

This is Souther Hawker, Aeshna cyanea, male which is one of the commonest large dragonflies in southern Britain. Your title seems to be confusing it with the Southern Migrant Hawker, Aeshna affinis, which is a rather rare species which has been found around the Thames Estuary, in Essex and Kent, in recent years. That species lacks yellow markings on both the thorax and abdomen - all the markings are blue.
