Stuart..
My biggest problem was that the Southern Hawkers are really curious. Most of the time they were 20 to 30 cm away from me! Made the DA* 300 useless with its 1.4m minimum focus.
A female Southern Hawker tried to cut into and lay eggs both into my t-shirt arm and trouser leg.
I was really lucky to capture the mating pair of Common Darters though. Only a few photos as they made themselves scarce rather quickly.
