​The Crimson Dropwing. Trithemis aurora. The female has bright orange colour while the male is deep pink in colour.

The dragonflies shown here were captured at Windsor Park on the afternoon of 21st July 2017, when I went there after lunch around 2 pm. The heat was unbearable! I spent only just over an hour looking around and photographing in the blazing sun! ​I had to leave after this time as I was beginning to be over-whelmed by the heat.
