A dragonfly but do not know the species. There are maybe 10-20
species in UK plus some damsel flies (similar but smaller and wings
held vertically instead of horizontally when at rest).

Can anyone tell me what this insect is please?

But how do you tell that it's not Scarce Chaser, Libellula fulva, except
by locality?

A couple of weeks ago, I heard the low buzzing sound and slowish
flight. I thought it might be a hornet but I assumed with those double
wings it would be some sort of dragonfly.

This is the final of my half a dozen or so photos as I was able to get
closer and closer. I'd just picked off some flower heads from the
rhodie and in another photo which I seem to have discarded, it looked
as though it had stuck a probosus into the broken off head it's now
staring at and was bringing up a liquid of sorts. (uggh!)

Isn't it a shame that the manufacturer did not have time to finish the
paint job on the wings!

thanks for the compliment, although I was lucky with the light and, in
any case, providing the insect doesn't scoot, it's almost impossible
to fail a close-up with a point and shoot in macro mode - I'm sure you
know.

As I was getting the camera out of its case, I watched it move its
head around. Fascinating, almost like a mechanical joint.
