    Great photos, Beryl!

    Could you tell me if this one is the same type? It seemed to be holding its wings at a strange angle. Maybe it had just acquired them? (There were lots of Damselflies and Dragonflies at Exbury on Wednesday!)

    Gosh! It didn't look at all like the one we rescued from the conservatory, being all green and brown with no blue at all! It was much smaller than the earlier sighting too.

    I was sure it was the same as yours here!

    Have changed the title o this thread a the dragonfly is a newly emerged Southern hawker and thus much lighter with bi-coloured legs. It is actually a Teneral
    As it reaches adulthood it's legs will turn black and a will turn a richer darker colour.
    Sorry for any confusion
