I took a chance and visited Higham Ferrers Pits this lunchtime and was rewarded with several Small Red-eyed Damselflies on the main fishing lake and also on the nature reserve lake. They mingled with "normal" Red-eyes and Common Blues. Also seen were the usual damsels, Brown Hawker and a pair of Ruddy Darter in cop and then ovipositing.
