Canvey Island, Essex
one of a few pairs seen along a stretch of Essex ditch, with more than 100 males looking for their ideal partners.
Also called the blue-eyed hawker, which is more descriptive.
messing up the chronology a bit, but here's one from today of these beautiful dragons. Inspired by some shots on Flickr I decided to head east to Essex after some of the Canvey Island babies, and was not disappointed, with dozens obligingly along various ditches, including a couple of pairs that were 'in cop'. Move over mixta's - the new kids on the block hit them for six, in my opinion.
