Aberpergwm

male Common Hawker
 A very nice wet area has developed on an old coal tip just above Glyn-Neath. I spent a few minutes looking around it this afternoon and found 8 species of Odonata present.  4 Common Hawkers including 3 males battling for supremacy, allowed me a chance to take a few photos.
