Common Darters, Southern Hawkers and a Black Darter at Old Lodge Nature Reserve yesterday.
Above one of the man-made ponds at Old Lodge Nature Reserve, which make it a special place for Damselflies and Dragonflies
Common Darters and Southern Hawkers were plentiful but bees were hardly seen: there are many, many, more bees of all sorts in my garden due, I imagine to wildflowers and sedum blooming and no grazing .
