I shot this migrant hawker a week or so ago, went back yesterday and she was still in the same area so I took some more.

The only time I came across one of these I found them much more sensitive than most dragons and ended up using a 300mm + 2X. How did you find your ones for approachability? Thanks Lester. I approach very slow no sudden movements. I find I can get right up close to just about any Dragonfly with no problems. Brian

I get the odd one now and then that just doesn't want to let me get within 30ft. Brian

Emperors are difficult as well. As for your migrant hawker, Brian, she's a little gem.  Cheers eccles. I've had a few ruddy darters ok, but I've had to use more caution to get right up to them. Not seen any Emperors. Brian
