They Might Be Dragons - Jim Krueger

Another drizzly and windy start to the day was short lived as the rain cleared to the north, but a cursory look at the water courses showed little or no signs of Insect activity. Wanting to improve on recent findings most attention was paid to
the smaller of the 2 ponds close to the Farm House, no more than 
a 'cup-full' in real terms, where all of the following 
were found over the last week.

AZURE DAMSELFLY

BLUE-TAILED DAMSELFLY
SMALL RED-EYED DAMSELFLY
SMALL RED-EYED DAMSELFLY with
AZURE DAMSELFLY
SCARCE CHASER
BLACK-TAILED SKIMMER
Juvenile BLUE-TAILED DAMSELFLY
 BANDED DEMOISELLE (male)
 BANDED DEMOISELLE (female)
All else flying today were the
RED ARROWS
once again (we've had our share of them this year)
displaying distantly over Bournemouth.
