Headed to Fishlake meadows after lunch for the best of the sunshine. For once the area was quite alive with insects, and I recorded several dragonflies and Damsels. A Hairy Hawker was the highlight, seen pretty well weaving through reeds. Other species included:
Banded Demoiselle and Beautiful Demoiselle; Blue-tailed, Azure, Common Blue, and Large Red Damsels, plus probable 4-spotted Chaser.
Ladybirds included 24 spot, 7 Spot and Harlequin.
Best of the birds were Hobby, and Cuckoo, plus another Cetti's sighting. These birds seem easier to see when I am not looking for birds, i.e. at a slower pace!
