I wouldn't be surprised if I've seen my last for the year, however, as it's turned much colder over the past few days.

You got some wonderful images with the female Migrant Hawker being a real stunner and posing perfectly for you. Mind it was also a much better day than we had yesterday with the gale like conditions we had at times.
