Seen in the New Forest. Maybe a Common Darter or female Ruddy Darter?
Darter Dragonfly?
Both are possibilities; I cannot see the defining characters in this image. See https://british-dragonflies.org.uk/odonata/dragonflies-2/
Thanks. It was quite difficult to get a good photo as the insect was across some very boggy ground from me!
We'll be in Poole next month; probably too late for much insect sightings. :-(
