Migrant Hawker

Flight period: August to October
The Migrant Hawker is common in the south of the UK and has spread north and west in recent decades. The breeding population is boosted by continental migrants in the autumn and they are most easily seen hawking for insects along sheltered woodland rides or hedgerows.
