Those frustrating Willow Emeralds
Those Willow Emeralds are getting to be a right pain in the a**e. They are so hard to spot, and still in such low numbers that you can spend hours looking for them and not see any or only see 1-2 males. 2.5 hours today and only 2 males, but at least yesterday I was able to point one out to Bob who'd made 3 previous trips without success. Still, there was plenty of other activity at Finedon, with 3 mating pairs of Migrant Hawkers, ovipositing females, plenty of Common and Ruddy Darters, Southern Hawkers and a single normal Emerald.
