Quite rare and local (but increasing in recent years) hawker found in East Anglia (almost exclusively). Also known as Green-eyed Hawker across Europe.

This is probably the most common hawker on our Norfolk Broads marshes during June/July despite its status nationally and also a big favourite for the local Hobby's!

Sometimes known as the Green-Eyed-Hawker. Here in the UK this species is legally protected under the Wildlife Country Act. At one time this species was restricted to the Broadlands of Norfolk and north east Suffolk but has now spread slowly over time and can now be found in such places such as Cambridge, Kent, Hertfordshire, Devon, Dorset, London and as far as Lancashire and Yorkshire. Can be seen on the wing from May to August in and around well vegetated lakes, ponds, ditches and marshes.

Aeshna isoceles is a small hawker dragonfly that is found in Europe, mostly around the Mediterranean, and the lowlands of North Africa. Its common name in English is green-eyed hawker. In Britain it is a rare and local species and is known as the Norfolk hawker. It has a brown colour with green eyes and clear wings and also a yellow triangular mark on the second abdominal segment which gave rise to its scientific name. It used to be in the genus Anaciaeschna as it has several differences from the other members of the genus Aeshna. Its specific name is often spelt isosceles.


A. isoceles is one of only two brown hawkers found in Europe, the other is A. grandis. Both have a brown thorax and abdomen but A. isoceles has green eyes and clear wings and a diagnostic yellow triangular mark on the second abdominal segment. The hindwings have an amber patch at their base. In contrast A. grandis has yellowish wings and blueish eyes. The green eye of A. isoceles stands out even in flight and in practice it is not difficult to tell these two dragonflies apart. In addition to the morphological differences A. isoceles is on the wing much earlier in the year than A. grandis.

A. isoceles is found in central Europe and around the Mediterranean and, the lowlands of North Africa. It is more common in eastern Europe than the south western Europe; it occurs in Spain and Portugal but is local.
It is found in wet areas, ponds, ditches and marshes, with dense vegetation with Water-soldier (Stratiotes aloides).
