Teneral Southern Hawker

[Chocky]

Here is a small video clip I made today at Bowling Green Marsh Nature Reserve. Topsham
It is not of the insect flying. I wouldn't be able to keep up with it, well that is to say not in close up but I did manage to get a close up of him chomping at some thing on a twig.
I was very tired when I made this video I had walked about 3-4 miles
This is a Teneral southern Hawker. I thought it was a migrant Hawker Sorry about that.

Brilliant piece of film!
A chunky looking beggar. I just looked him up and it says that he is particularly wary... so getting this film is really good. Lovely to get to see him feeding.
Well done, Chocky.

I got mixed up because in a pond they are more green and in a bush of course they show more brown again Camo'. I reallised when I was looking at the clos up. the Enperors have coloured legs
