Earlier in September, on a sunny evening, the dragonfly that had been patrolling Andy M's garden continuously all day, finally came to rest on a sunny wall, giving the chance for a good look at it.
It turned out to be a female Southern Hawker dragonfly, distinguished by the bands of solid colour encircling the last two body segments (other species have a broken band or paired spots of colour), and a pale narrow inverted triangle on the first segment behind the wings. Lovely to get such a good view!
