A Great Time for Dragons

We spent Friday afternoon at the Dragonfly pools which were teeming with different species. They were all very active in the heat so only managed one flight shot - of Common Darters and this wasn't great! Plenty of Emperors laying everywhere, also more Red-Eyed Damselflies than I have seen before, including battallions on the water ready for take off. Over the fields and along the hedgerows Migrant Hawkers (with Brown Hawkers) were busy catching insects. A real summer idyll showing what can be achieved by organic farming!!

Gamlingay and Lackford on Hot Days

Insects are still in short supply but here are some from a walk round Gamlingay Wood (3 Hoverflies) and Lackford Nature Reserve - Hairy Dragonfly, Banded Demoiselle and female Black-Tailed Skimmer.
