With the kids away, I went with Michelle north Kent, to look for the Southern Emeralds at Cliffe. After a long walk, this female was found.
Other dragonflies seen were Emperor, Common Emerald and Migrant Hawker amongst the usual Damselflies, as well as several Red Admirals.
We then went to Hadleigh, on the other side of the Thames, to look for Southern Migrant Hawker. Unfortunately we timed our arrival with that of the clouds and although one male was probably seen amongst Migrant Hawkers, views were too poor to be conclusive. More Emperors were also seen along and some nice views of Sparrowhawks,
