    lol Alan and I didn't think to cheat and look up the photo title !!   but if I recall correctly, I think I remember Jim saying the word Hawker as we watched it.   Watch all three of us be wrong lol

    Azure Hawker? If it's wrong then no food for my guide dog today!

  • In reply to Bill N:

    Oh alright then, as you ask, I'll put you out of your misery or at least tell you what I think :)

    Emperors have a green thorax, so it's not that.

    Sorry, for your dog, Bill, but I think it will go hungry. The stripes on the thorax are too thick for it to be an Azure (which I believe is also less well-known in the region).

    I would say the points to Hazy and anyone else who said "Migrant Hawker" and a very nice in-flight shot, too.

    Great additions, Jim, even with the wrong camera :) The symmetrical head shot of the dragon is excellent
