This big fella, which I think is a male Brown Hawker Dragonfly, insisted on perching on this one place on the fence, even to the extent of landing on my sleeve if I went too close..

As far as I can make out, this is a male Brown Hawker Dragonfly, which spent some time posing for a portrait.
That’s Terminal 3 at Manchester Airport in the background.

Not quite sure what this is. Looks like a Gatekeeper but the markings are different.
I’ve only ever seen these at the south side of Manchester Airport, in an area of scrubland.
