There were at least 14 Southern Migrant Hawkers on the wing across the Studland peninsula this afternoon, favouring a number of (largely dried out) pools in the dunes. One of my favourite dragonflies (so blue!) & the 1st I've seen in Dorset for several years #odonata

This one's an Emerald Damselfly trying to hide behind a rush. A handheld focus stack of 15 shots using natural light #damselfly #ukwildlife #odonata #insect #emerald #photography #macro #nature #scotland

Much better shot of the flying dragon from a few days ago. Got to love how they fold a set of legs behind those mighty eyes. #Nikon #photography #ukwildlife #invertebrates #wildlife #nature #insects #Odonata

The very rare and very striking Golden-ringed Dragonfly, Co. Kilkenny today. (With thanks to @harryhussey.bsky.social) #dragonflies #odonata

First #Dragonfly flight shot i've done this year. Could be better, could be worse. #Nikon #photography #ukwildlife #invertebrates #wildlife #nature #insects #Odonata

Keeled Skimmer was an unexpected addition to the St Aldhelm's Head #odonata list this morning, with this dispersing female loitering in the grass by the Coastguards Cottages, a good 7km+ from the nearest heathland. For a site with practically no standing water, the 12+ species list is pretty good!
