No pics again, but a couple of areas visited over the weekend.

Keyhaven / Pennington had plenty opf birds, but I was surprised not to see any Dragonflies, round the main lakes. I didn't check the inland ponds though.
Balmer Lawn is renowned for Southern Damselfly, but no joy for me. Did see a Golden-ringed Dragonfly, and Common Darter.
A decent sized pond at Dunbridge, surrounded by woodland, and hefty wire fencing. The water was covered in Damselflies though. I needed the scope to eventually identify them as Large Red-eyed Damselflies, which was cool. Even better was proper flight views of Brown Hawker. At least two patrolling and fighting over the water.
I ended up near Mottisfont, a stronghold for Southern Damselfly, but couldn't even find suitable habitat.. Back to the New Forest for them I suspect.
