Smile for the camera

by JDO | posted in: Dragonflies, Invertebrates, Odonata, Warwickshire | 0

The male Migrant Hawkers at Lucy’s Mill have been hunting midges and moth flies over the past few days, flying high to intercept their prey as well as low over the reeds in search of females. When you’re walking over … Continued

After a pretty meagre night’s sleep I felt quite rough this morning, and Ōura must have felt I was looking rough as well, because it gave me an activity target well below the usual baseline. Three little toddles around the … Continued

There were still at least a dozen male Migrant Hawkers zooming about at Lucy’s Mill in Stratford this afternoon, but many of them are now looking quite battered, and I fear they’re not long for this world. The number of … Continued

The most important thing I want to say this evening is a heartfelt thank you to everyone who made kind and generous comments on yesterday’s milestone post, and decorated it with stars and hearts. I like to think of myself … Continued

If my maths is correct, this is my 4500th blip. I’m not sure why we celebrate this as a milestone, but apparently we do, so I’ll take the time-honoured opportunity to say thank you to the team who do such … Continued

Zinging in the rain

by JDO | posted in: Dragonflies, Invertebrates, Odonata, Warwickshire | 0

I’m sorry. That was egregious, and I’m ashamed of myself. I’ll try not to do it again. But it gives you the picture: it was drizzly and dark, and the few Migrant Hawkers that were flying in Stratford this afternoon … Continued

Today was a day of weather extremes – bright and sunny one minute, and overcast with a threat of rain the next. The one constant was the strong, blustery wind, which brought down the temperature even when the sun was … Continued

R and I managed another picnic lunch by the river in Stratford today – though you wouldn’t describe the conditions as toasty, it was quite warm enough for sitting around. It was windy though, and when I went looking for … Continued

Fridayish

Strangely, because it was a much calmer day, and still quite warm at around 19°C, there weren’t many dragons about at Lucy’s Mill today, and those there were seemed to be pretty tired, stopping to rest quite frequently. This worked … Continued

Another day, another Migrant Hawker – but we’ll miss them when they’re gone. At least, I will. Conditions were quite tricky for photographing dragons in Stratford this morning – it was windy, and the light was very variable. Dragonflies get … Continued
