The untidy wilderness that is my wildlife garden is beginning to show dividends in the insect life it supports, none more welcome than the dragonflies and damselflies that are now becoming frequent. However I was not prepared, when testing a new kitchen fluorescent tube, for the large fluttering insect that attacked it.

A Hawker of some species, it finally settled and I was able to get a photo, though in silhouette it didn't reveal much. On switching the light off it went to the next best thing, the window and I was able to get a better shot, it was a Southern Hawker.

Let out it flew happily round the garden for a while before disappearing over the hedge.
