There wasn’t much going on in Stratford this afternoon, other than the fact that the Black Swan, which is usually out on the river, was swimming around the canal basin, flirting with a male Mute Swan. The two species can … Continued

I’ve got far too much to do at the moment to be wasting my time on dragon hunts. On the other hand, it’s going to be a long, Odonata-deprived winter, and the season could end any day now. So. Clear … Continued

It’s been a busy week – yesterday was especially full-on – and today I just wanted to lounge around and do as little as possible. It didn’t quite work out that way, but I was at least able to draw … Continued

It was a nice morning, if a bit windy, and R and I had some shopping to do, so we went into Stratford, where I was also able to take some time out at the river, photographing the Migrant Hawkers … Continued

R had a couple of appointments in Stratford this morning, and I tagged along for the ride, going off to the river in search of dragons while he was otherwise engaged and then meeting up with him for coffee.  There … Continued

The weather forecast predicted a decent morning but a deteriorating afternoon, so I took myself off to Stratford early, in the hope of getting a Migrant Hawker or two. I’m beginning to feel as if every image I post of … Continued

I dashed into Stratford this morning to meet up with R for coffee, and take advantage of some sunny, if breezy, weather. There were at least a couple of male Migrant Hawkers competing for possession of each of the larger … Continued
