Its a female Southern Hawker - and the reason she stayed still so long was because she is probably laying eggs :D (ovipositing).

Lovely shots of her too.

You can tell the female Southern from the female Common by both the colour and the wide antehumeral stripes - the Southern has the wider green stripes on the top of the thorax and the Common has narrower yellow stripes - plus a few other differences but the stripes are the thing to look at first.
