A Meadowhawk Takes a Rest

There are several meadowhawk species that fly around and stop in Murin-an’s garden. Recently, we saw several Sympetrum darwinianum (a meadowhawk species) males that have taken a liking to the area around the tea house. When other males flew by here, these ones chased them away to protect their territory. A little further down the garden path, those other males had secured a favorite area of their own.
