Another day at Old Moor, looking once again for Dragonflies and Damselflies. On arriving and walking to the entrance, I was greeted by a Common Darter in the car park, I also found a Common Green Shieldbug, a Helophilus pendulus Hoverfly, and also a Chrysotoxum bicinctum Hoverfly.
Around the Visitor Centre Pond were Brown Hawker, and a Mint Moth. I then moved on to the stepping stones ponds were more Common and Ruddy Darters could be found, alas there was nothing new to be found, so I moved on to the top pond, over the bridge, where they only new thing I found for the day was Common Blue Damselflies and a Field Grasshopper.
After the dinner break, I called back in via the visitor centre pond again, were things seemed to have picked up a bit, with Southern Hawker, Migrant Hawker, Ruddy and Common Darters, Blue tailed Damselfly and a Brown China Mark Moth all put in an appearance.
Things went quiet on the Green Lane Loop, but on hearing a Greenshank calling, I called in at the East Pool Hide, where at last there seemed to be a few waders coming thru, with a couple of Dunlins, six Black tailed Godwits, three Greenshank, sixteen(16) Ringed Plovers, Green Sandpiper, Little Ringed Plover, Lapwings, Black headed Gulls, Canada and Greylag Geese, Avocet, Moorhen, Pied Wagtail and Coots of course
