Migrant female Hawker - Aeshna mixta

We were lucky to have over 20 migrant hawkers feeding in our garden one evening, but they havent been landing and its almost impossible to capture in flight!
This was a very special sight.
But finally saw this female land and she stayed for over 10mins allowing me to photograph her all round!

Now I am green with envy - I didnt realise you were so lucky having witnessed that many hawkers in your garden all at the same time. It must have been amazing! Great shot too.
