A male Brown Hawker hangs from a blackberry in a bramble hedge. He's a large brown dragonfly with small blue markings at the bases of his wings and the top of his abdomen, and within his otherwise brown eyes. He is dorsal side on to the camera, which means that the diagonal yellow flashes on the sides of his thorax can only just be glimpsed. He has amber-coloured wings
