Southern Hawker in Flight

Aeshna cyanea/Blau-gruene Mosaikjungfer

As with the butterflies, I haven’t seen as many dragonflies as in previous years.
I was happy to see this hawker before it migrates to warmer areas for the Winter.
I read that this variety can fly with a speed of 50 KMH and can make distances up to 5000 km.
