This one was sitting on a leaf making a buzzing sound and others were congrigating near it. From time to time it took off and fought (?) the others.

Is it male or female? How can I tell the difference? I've got some nice in flight pictures, I hope I have both sexes, but it's probably not. No copulation pics though.

In all excitement I forgot to add: Norway & July

Thanks
