Taken at Taunton this morning. I believe it is a chaser but not sure of the ID.
I would appreciate any help you can give.

Evening/Morning Peter!
My money's on the Migrant Hawker Aeshna mixta, due to the position of the first medium brown marking half-way up side of the abdomen.
Take care, Jason

Good morning Jason. So nice to hear from you again and for your very helpful advice, as usual.
Spent the weekend in Taunton. I did not have much time to take photographs but was pleased to capture these shots whilst walking the dog in an orchard.
Cheers for now
Peter

Why thank you, Sir! 
It looks like a nice find given you didn't have much time then! |
