While the weather takes a damp and cool break - hopefully not for long - here are a few photos of what's around.
Twywell Hills & Dales is beginning to show, although I haven't managed to find any emerging Broad-bodied Chasers yet. I found a pair of
Large Reds in tandem, many around the hedges and a single
Azure Damselfly. Also, one
Hairy Dragonfly flying around the meadow.
Tony Vials reports seeing a
Large Red at Summer Leys on Saturday.
On Sunday, we took a walk around Thrapston Lake where I saw ~50
Banded Demoiselle on the Nene. Also, a handful or
Red-eyes and a single
Hairy Dragonfly exuiva on the lake.
