Dragonflies - The Migrant Hawker

First seen on Thursday 17th September 2020 at Druridge Pools

The male Migrant Hawker (shown here) is brown and blue with a few yellow/green patches on its thorax. Southern Hawkers are similar, but are a brighter blue and green. Several of these were found in the vegetation between the road and wooded hedgerow at Druridge Bay (near the path to the Pools). They appear quite late in the year - August to October (one of the last to appear). Females are brown and yellow (like many female dragonflies).
