Day 19 of the 2023 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. Norfolk Hawker. Also known as Green-eyed Hawker, but don't tell our Norfolk county recorder that! This one at #RSPB #StrumpshawFen in July but they're now quite widespread outside #Norfolk too - they have been quite a conservation success story in recent years. #DragonflyAdventCalendar #wildlife #insects #wildlifephotography #invertebrates

Day 6 of the 2023 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. One of our commonest species, the Blue-tailed Damselfly. This was at #RSPB #StrumpshawFen in #Norfolk in July, but there are probably some at the pond in your local park. #DragonflyAdventCalendar #wildlife #insects #wildlifephotography #invertebrates

Day 5 of the 2023 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. Brown Hawker is a very fast-flying species which doesn't settle often so I find it very hard to photograph. Except when a female is laying eggs, as here at the fantastic #RSPB #StrumpshawFen in #Norfolk in July. #DragonflyAdventCalendar #wildlife #insects #wildlifephotography #invertebrates
