More October Willow Emeralds

The Willows Emeralds were showing well today, including one flexing its muscles (show-off!). There are plenty of egg scars now at Finedon, where I spotted a sign put up by Froglife, who are planning a clearance of the pond on 19 Oct. 

I wrote to them, and it was just as well I did because they told me they planned to remove all the willows from the pond - aaargh. Luckily, they have listened to me and promised not to touch them. Phew! 

Also seen were many Common Darters and ovipositing Migrant and Southern Hawkers.
