Yes it is - dark stripe through the eye, pale grey back and dark centres to the wing coverts

Thank you very much

Hi Bob,

Is the location HK Park?

Thanks,

Captain

The dragonfly looks like a Wandering Glider [i]Pantala flavescens[/i]. Interesting to see a wagtail with one, I didn't realise they took such big prey items

Sorry location was Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter

"Ocularis" and takeaway meal

To David S. - Thanks for the dragonfly ID, they are still a mystery to me

To Bob T. - this just shows that a cold snap can can make us all hungry !

:-)
