Migrant hawkers by Mick

I have been trying to get images of dragonflies in flight for quite some time now. So with just a couple of weeks left this year of the dragonfly season, decided to have another go. RSPB Rainham is my local reserve and is a good place for the Migrant hawker. After a short walk along the south path past the Purfleet hide I found a good spot and set to trying to get some flight shots. It took a while to get my eye in but eventually managed to get some pixels onto the sensor.

Here are a couple of images from this morning, one of a Migrant hawker perched on a reed stem and the other of one in flight, which I am very pleased with.
