    Migrant Hawker in Flight (thanks Stan)

    Hi All,

    I was going to call this post 'Dragonfly' until I saw Stan's Post....


    There are lots of these where I sit watching for Kingfishers and have been trying to catch one in flight for a long time, I should have had a faster speed!

          Hawkers are one of the easiest dragons to get in flight as they often tend to hover for a couple of seconds which is 100 times more than most, having said that it is still not easy as you need to be parallel to get the whole body sharp (which you have) and a fast shutter speed to freeze the wings ( which you have too))
