southern hawker male dragonfly in flight IMG_0208

            I was walking in Heartwood Forest in Sandridge and spotted this beautiful dragonfly hovering over a pond. I have tried to photograph dragonflies in flight before with no luck as they tend to dart about - hence the name I guess! On this occasion I got lucky.
