A juvenile Grey Heron, photographed in right profile, with only its head and neck and the top of its back and wings in shot. It's a large blue-grey bird with black and white markings on its breast, a white chin, and the beginnings of black plumes beginning to grow from the back of its head. Its bill is black above and orange below, and in it the Heron is holding a Migrant Hawker dragonfly it has caught. The dragonfly's wings are sticking out on either side of the bird's bill, and its head, with blue eyes, one foreleg and part of its body can just be seen in the narrow opening between the jaws.

A pair of Migrant Hawkers hang from a reed in the mating wheel position. They are medium-sized dragonflies. The female is mosaic patterned in brown, black and yellow, and has brown and greeny yellow eyes. The male has similar patterning, but on his abdomen most of the yellow markings are replaced by blue ones, and his eyes are blue and brown.

An immature female Migrant Hawker hangs from a branch of a hazel tree. She is a medium-sized dragonfly, predominantly brown, with paired lilac spots along her abdomen which will turn yellow as she matures. Her eyes, currently grey, will turn greeny-brown. A male Southern Hawker hangs from a branch of a conifer. He is a large dragonfly with yellow, green and blue markings on a brown background. There are two bold yellow stripes on the front of his thorax, and a mosaic pattern of green and blue spots along his abdomen, with bold blue transverse stripes across his final two abdominal segment. His eyes are blue, yellow and brown, and his face is yellow.

A Migrant Hawker hovering, angled towards the camera from the top left of the frame, against a diffused background of dark green leaves. He is a medium-large dragonfly, with a 2-tone face (yellow above and white below), blue eyes, a brown thorax with yellow markings on the shoulders and the sides, and a blue, brown and black, mosaic-patterned abdomen. His wings, which are clear with brown wings spots, are pictured in the counter-stroking position - all are held out at 45° to his body so that they form an X shape.
