A SURPRISE BUT VERY WELCOME VISITOR -THREE

This large Dragonfly turned up in the garden and spent some time around the pond.
I think it might be a Southern Hawker, but not sure. If anyone else has any other ideas as to its identity, please feel free to comment.

More shots of her here ......

Last year I saw a Southern Hawker ovipositing out of water & was told they do this quite often. It looked like YOUR Dragon Lady!
