Migrant hawker and common darter dragonflies at London Wetland Centre

insect, London, odonata, WWT London wetland centreBy Neil-UKWildlifeOctober 7, 2012Leave a comment

Some more photos from the London Wetland Centre, this time of the dragonflies. There were loads of migrant hawkers about. Also I photographed this common darter.

Migrant hawker Aeshna mixta in flight

After all the excitement of the rare southern migrant hawkers, it seem that only the migrant hawkers (Aeshna mixta) are still on the wing. I had a look at West Canvey Marshes on Sunday and there has been no sign this week at Wat Tyler CP. The week before last I came across a migrant…

At lunchtime I bumped into a couple of folks looking for the southern migrant hawker (one of who was Simon NL on Flickr, click his name to see his excellent pics). I got a couple of photos of the perched male today: Sadly with my Sigma 150-500mm rather than my 300mm prime, which I can’t…

There were a few people in Wat Tyler CP today looking for the Southern migrant hawker dragonfly. If you are unfamiliar with this species see my last post. Today I was unable to use my long lens so didn’t get any more of it in flight, but at the end of the day I got…

Southern migrant hawker dragonfly at Wat Tyler Country Park

Essex, insect, odonata, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeAugust 9, 20121 Comment

In 2010 a number of Southern migrant hawker dragonflies (Aeshna affinis) turned up at Hadleigh Country Park, a few miles East of Wat Tyler CP. They also turned up at Vange Wick (not Vange Marsh) just to the south of Wat Tyler CP, so I’ve been hoping they would turn up here. Last year, I…

Migrant Hawker in flight

Essex, odonata, RSPB RainhamBy Neil-UKWildlifeAugust 27, 20111 Comment

While at Rainham Marshes we noticed a fair few male migrant hawkers patrolling territories.  The light wasn’t great and neither was the angle from the boardwalks so we didn’t bother with them.  But then we found a spot where we could get to their level with the sun behind us, only for the sun to…
