Visited Hatchett Pond, and Hawkshill in the New Forest on a very hot, but windy Saturday lunchtime. Initially I was just seeing Emperor and Black-tailed Skimmer at Hatchet, but later found Blue-tailed Damselfly, Broad-bodied Chaser, and Keeled Skimmers which appeared smaller than the Black-Tailed Skimmers, and quite easy to distinguish with a little practise.

I then headed to Hawkshill where I saw my first Golden-ringed Dragonfly, Large Red Damselfly, and more Keeled Skimmer.
