Indian Summer in Richmond Park

Migrant Hawker hovering by lower Pen Pond. I was pleased to get this nice shot of one of these handsome dragonflies, one of the most delicate and shimmering of the hawkers. It was alongside Common Blue damselflies (low over the path) and a few Common Darters.
Great Crested Grebe in the warm water
Small Heath butterfly: one of many skittering low in the short heathy grassland, perching on the ground. We saw few other insects, barring a fast and wriggly Carabid Beetle.
