User's notes
I saw it hovering near Hughes. It was flying around the shrub in the background. It landed once, gripping the underside of a leaf. It remained there for a while, meaning I was able to take a number of photographs. It then took off but kept approaching this shrub. It had a brief aerial collision with a bee, when they were both heading for the same part of the shrub, but the dragonfly re-approached to once again hang from a leaf.
