Headed to Blashford Lakes for mid-morning, but despite plenty of Common Blue Damsels, and Azure Damsels, it was pretty quiet. Not helped by the only decent sized Dragonfly flying before I had clocked it.. Looked like a Brown Hawker, and certainly headed into the tree tops.
Midday, and it was good to see more species emerge in the sunshine. Common Darter, a Female Emperor, egg-laying. Then best of all a definite Brown Hawker swooped by the pond, called out by a man to his Wife, or I'd have missed this one.
Then I headed to Eyeworth Pond, where both Red-Eyed, and Small Red-eyed Damselfly were present on the lilypads. Also present were Emperor Dragonfly, Black-tailed Skimmer, Keeled Skimmer, and another Brown Hawker.
