More Dragons

Another trip to Kibblesworth this time to see if any Hawkers were around unfortunately I didn’t see any while I was there but I believe they were seen later in the day. I haven’t seen Brian S in ages so it was nice to catch up and have a bit of crack. After Kibblesworth it was onto Rainton Meadows for Brown Hawker but once again I didn‘t see any.
