Eclosure

Had I managed to update the images on the front page of my web site today without a two-hour battle with WordPress (which is, as you may know, the invention of the devil), I’d have been out in the garden … Continued

R and I took a walk around Croome, where it was a sparkling and slightly steamy morning. Neither of us managed to find any dragons, but there were quite a few damsels about. I saw several fully mature Large Reds, … Continued

“It’s too early,” I always say to R when I go off after Odonata in late April and early May. “On the other hand, someone has to be first out of the water.” First out of the water at Lucy’s … Continued

There were two Large Red Damselflies working the wild garden this morning, this female and a male, both semi-mature, and neither, so far as I can see, having come out of either of our ponds. They were fairly skittish and … Continued

Autumn Hawker

When I reached the lake at Croome this afternoon there was a chap standing on the bridge, peering down onto a patch of reeds at the junction with the river. As I approached, he produced a small camera from a … Continued
