Norfolk hawker
To get the best out of How Hill Reserve, Mike Dilger heads out on the water. The reserve has a few real specialities, including the Norfolk hawker - a dragonfly. It is one of the rarest in Britain. It is quite a big dragonfly. It is chestnut brown all over, but the most distinctive thing is its huge apple green eyes. It uses them while patrolling up and down its territory and looking for females. This special dragonfly is proof we're in a knock-out place.
