EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this epic wildlife spectacle captured by FLPA Images, we witness an intense clash between two airborne warriors over the picturesque Strumpshaw Fen RSPB Reserve. The mighty Norfolk Hawker, a striking adult male perched on a reed, finds himself under attack from an audacious Azure Damselfly. As these British beauties engage in a mid-air duel, their vibrant colors create a mesmerizing display against the backdrop of East Anglia's wetlands. It's nature's version of "Top Gun" with both insects showcasing their aerial prowess and determination to defend their territories. The Norfolk Hawker, known for its aggressive behavior and impressive wingspan, refuses to back down as it faces off against the feisty Azure Damselfly. With wings fluttering furiously and bodies twisting through the air, they dance in perfect harmony while battling for dominance. This moment reminds us that even within our own backyard lies a world brimming with fierce competition and untamed beauty. As summer settles upon England's temperate lands, these dragonfly gladiators remind us that conflicts can arise anywhere – even among tiny creatures who call The Broads home. So let this image serve as a reminder to embrace life's unexpected battles with courage and tenacity – just like these valiant insects soaring above Strumpshaw Fen!
