Any golden-rings home?

We first saw a golden-ringed dragonfly about four years ago, when it landed on our kite bag, clearly at the end of its life. We didn't see any last year, but saw several this year, on Southampton Common as well as the university campus. We even had one flying through the open front door into the kitchen!

But we'd never seen a golden-ring actively 'at home' in the New Forest, where its closest natural breeding habitat is. So off to Crockford Bottom we went ...

The stream close to the car park not only gave us several beautiful demoiselles, ...

... it also had a few golden-ringed dragonflies patrolling the stream! No pics of them, as they never settled, but kept flying back and forth. 

Exploring the boggy heathland up to the ponds at Two Bridges Bottom gave us many keeled skimmers ...

... as well as a few small red damsels.

As we were exploring the many gorse bushes, a large dragonfly landed, sporting a bright blue triangle at the top of its abdomen. Couldn't take a picture as it flew off quickly again, but unmistakably a lesser emperor, a new species for us! 

So the golden-rings were definitely home, and it was very nice to finally see them in the New Forest, actively hunting. Today's tables (one = 1; few = 2-4; several = 5-9; many = 10+):
