Late November Darters

Still more reports of Common Darters are appearing with around 16 seen at Priors Hall, near Corby by James Underwood and several including an ovipositing pair at Yardley Chase by Jeff Blincow. Jeff also saw a Migrant Hawker which puts it as pretty much the latest date so far. If this mild weather continues we may yet see our first December Darters.

And I thought it was all over!!

Well, just as I'd given up for the year following drawing a blank at three different sites over the last week, Darters keep appearing in Norton near Daventry up to 16 November, and Judy & Terry Wood report 6 Darters and a Migrant Hawker at Barnwell Country park on the 14th.

Still two weeks to go to beat the County record of 29th November.
