Ponds 24th May

Another fine day, so I another visit to the local ponds, hopefully to get some shots of Four Spotted Chaser.

Plenty of Large Red and Azure Damselfly on the first two ponds I visited, but no larger Dragonfly on the favourite second pond. So I tried the third pond where there isn’t usually any action, but it was cleared last year of ingrowing vegetation. A single Four Spotted Chaser was patrolling the pond and landing, and I was able to take a good selection of photos. Here also was a single Blue tailed Damselfly.

Other wildlife of note was very little. Birds noted were Willow Warbler, Chaffinch, Chiffchaff, Green Woodpecker, and Common Whitethroat
