A quick visit into the local ponds before work to see if there were any new dragonflies on the wing, I was hoping for that Broad Bodied Chaser.
There were about seven Four Spotted Chasers on my favourite pond, along with plenty of Azure Damselfly, a few Large Red, and Blue tailed Damselfly, nothing new.
Butterflies about was a single Red Admiral and a pair of male Common Blue Butterfly.
Birds noted were Willow Warbler, Blackbird, Blackcap, Wren, Mallard and a “yaffling” Green Woodpecker
