Southern Hawker


A birdless walk along the Corton rail track late afternoon today, revealed up to 5 Hawker dragonflies, 4 Migrant Hawkers and 1 superb Southern Hawker which spent a lot of time investigating me, it was a stunning male, sadly it was never seen perched. The reason for so few birds were the rather windy conditions.
Butterflies seen included up to 4 Holly Blues on the wing.
Meanwhile, in the garden a calling Chiff- Chaff was heard at the back.
