Southern Hawker & Ant Lion on the heath

On Saturday 26th July, a female type Southern Hawker flew down and sheltered under leaves of the garden bay tree bush at 12.25pm following a rain squall, as the weather cleared up I ventured out with my lens but it quickly flew off down the passgeway so no picture again. Following this I went around Nick B's at Gunton, he had rung me on Friday to say he had rescued an adult Ant Lion off the Heath after cutting bracken, the only problem was I was at Latitude at the time. Fortunately, he kept it overnight and in the early afternoon I called around to see Nick B and drove him back to the Heath where he released the adult Ant Lion, I managed a few pics as it was nicely settled on bracken.
