    Well after three visits I finally managed to catch up with a Willow Emerald at Finedon where they've been showing since August. To make it a winning double I saw another at the new site of Priors Hall where it had been discovered today by a local nature spotter. This doubles the number of sites...

    Dragonflies 2018

    They really are appealing creatures to watch but I also like birds ( of course) and butterflies but then I was always told that I went around with my head in the clouds! James.

    Dragonflies 2018

Five of the highlights are pictured here. They are Southern Emerald, White-faced...

    Dragonflies 2018

    Well we've reached that time of the season when I've seen all or at least most of the species that occur in the county this year.
