   There are a good selection of photos at the British Dragon Fly Society website (see http://www.dragonflysoc.org.uk/species.html ).

   I wonder if this is one of the following:

   Norfolk Hawker
   Vagrant Emperor
   Yellow-winged Darter
   Wandering Darter

   My choice purely on the basis of its name is the Vagrant Emperor.

   It’s a common darter dragonfly – Sympetrum striolatum.
   A widespread species in the county but nice to see all the same. the mature males are red, the immatures and females straw coloured.
   If you have further willdife queries email me at wildlifeenquiries@derbyshirewt.co.uk and I’ll try to help out.
   The ‘wt’ stands for wildlife trust…..
