Hi all,
I know nothing about Dragonflies. This was taken today in Somerset. Any ideas on the species?
I also saw another dragonfly with sky blue abdomen and lime green thorax (or the other way round...)
Cheers
Lee

To butterfly meadows, chalk downlands and leafy glades; to summers eternal.

Hi Lee,
Nice shot, I reckon you have an immature female Southern Hawker (Aeshna cyanea) there. The coloration in the mature specimen is a lot more striking.
