Moorland Hawkers still flying

27:th of September 2009
On several occasions during todays walk in the pineforest, we have seen dark, bluish Aeshnids without being able to identify them. In the afternoon we finally catch one along the dirt track and it is in fact a Moorland Hawker (Aeshna juncea). A late autumn flyer indeed. The Brown Hawkers are since long gone, but Migrant Hawkers are also still dashing about.
