Large Dragonfly at the Japanese Garden. I wasnot sure what it was so uploaded to iNaturalist: Common Hawker (Aeshna juncea) from Clackmannanshire, UK on 14 October, 2024 at 01:41 PM by John Johnston · iNaturalist. Surly the last I see this year?

A walk to Greenside Reservoir this afternoon. We saw a speckled wood, possible the last butterfly this year and a hawker dragonfly.
Sunny afternoon at Ardinning. These 3 within a metre of each other. I guess the first two could be common darters.
I was watching this Golden-ringed Dragonfly as it caught onto a reed which bent under its weight.
I keep thinking I’ve seen the last dragonfly of the year, perhaps this ruddy darter (I think) is it?
Saw this big guy zooming about catching midges at Ardinning this afternoon. Quite a few darters too. We got some sunshine in between the rain.
Had a walk around Ardinning this afternoon, few dragonflies about, photos of Common Darter (pretty sure)
and Black Darter, perhaps?
Quite a few smaller dragonflies & damselflies around Ardinning today. Nice sunny morning, autumn feels close, bracken & heather turning.
Common Blue Damselfly & Common Darter at Ardinning yesterday. Also saw very large dark blue dragonfly.
Four-spotted Chaser at Ardinning on Friday
