“Is it always so quiet?” I asked a woman walking her dog around Frensham Little Pond. “No,” she replied, “it’s usually full of birds. Maybe they don’t like the weather.” If so, I can’t say I blamed them. I’d driven … Continued

The rut hasn’t yet started at Charlecote, although some of the big old scarred bucks are doing some exploratory rounding-up of potential harems, and a bit of groaning to warm up their voices. But the does are looking unimpressed, if … Continued

I spent the morning at home doing boring things, and didn’t get out with the camera until mid-afternoon. Croome beckoned, and looked promising when I arrived, but I soon realised that I’d left my visit a little late: it was … Continued

I haven’t seen a single dragon here since the cold snap earlier this week, although photos are still appearing on line from other parts of the country, and I was beginning to fear that in the Shire our season had … Continued

With bad weather forecast, and the dragon season galloping towards its close, I zoomed off to Croome this morning in the hope of photos. There were plenty of Common Darters around, mostly ovipositing in tandem, and a handful of Migrant … Continued

Ah – that’s better! Back in my photographic comfort zone. And, breathe…. I was feeling a bit blue today, so took myself off to Croome, where it was a wonderful day for dragoning: there were a few Small Red-eyed Damselflies … Continued

As it was a lovely morning, we decided to ease the pain of being back from holiday by going to Croome. By the time we arrived the sky had clouded over, which reduced the number of dragons flying, and didn’t … Continued

“What are you doing today?” said R. Being a bit tired and grumpy, I did that face-pulling, shoulder-shrugging, pffft-noise thing, but then remembered that we’d been saying for weeks that we’d make a Friday trip to Croome at some stage … Continued

It’s hard work, bouncing around the reed bed, trying to put up flies so you can hunt them, while having to break off to chase around after other dragons every few seconds. Migrant Hawkers are still emerging at Croome, interestingly, … Continued

Brown Hawker

If R and I hadn’t happened to see him fly into this yew tree, we never would have spotted him. As it was, he was so well-camouflaged that when I approached the tree I struggled to find him, and the … Continued
