Southern Hawker Flight

 About three weeks ago I shared images of a very confiding pair of Southern Hawkers visiting our pond to lay egs and we had another female yesterday that returned repeatedly through the day to lay in the moss at the edge of the pond. 

I  spent time trying to capture them in flight and pleased with sequences that showed a bit about how they manoeuvre keeping the head more-or-less horizontal. She came very close so lots of opportunities to capture the wonderful eyes.

With the two long egg-laying visits, hopefully we are in for a bumper year in a couple seasons time, when they emerge as in 2017
