Hello
Seeing the other posts reminded me of these photos I took 2 years ago. I think 2 might be southern hawkers from the other threads, not sure of the 3rd as it's darker blue. It was an amazing half an hour, I went to bring in the washing and saw the 1st one, ran in to get my camera and whilst I was taking it's photo the other 2 turned up, managed to grab a few pics before they flew off. I've never seen them before and not since, as I'm at least a mile away from any water, I assumed they must have been blown off course from where ever they were going?

Hi Janenat
I reckon that you have Migrant Hawkers there,the first a female,and the last two are males.

Agree with Jason that these are Migrant Hawkers + these insects often occur well away from water feeding along woodland glades, etc.
Sometimes you can get swarms of dozens or even hundreds exceptionally, especially near the coast with there has been some migration.
I saw my first of the year last Sunday at Kew. |
