    Small Red-eyeds were out at Hadleigh (south Essex) on Sunday 11th, along with at least 3 Southern Emeralds on Canvey Island - both very early.

    UK Dragonflies & Damselflies 2021

    Fair enough, the Emeralds in SE Essex are probably a bit of an anomaly as Scarce are common and very much the default species, and there's nowhere I'm aware of locally where Common are present and Scarce aren't. Definitely a case of roles reversed, hence my comment. Also worth pointing out that...

    UK Dragonflies & Damselflies 2021

    If you're after Southern Emeralds they favour the north east side of the hedge line which runs alongside the A130 Canvey Way. If you start in the corner of the field nearest the big roundabout and work your way along from there you should be fine (will be obvious when you get there). Best...

    Waders in Scotland

    Migrant or Southern Migrant Hawker, Essex

    Thanks very much Adrian. It's one of the earlier sightings locally so hopefully there'll be several more appearing over the next few weeks. Out of interest, is it usual for a female to show so much blue on the abdomen and eyes?

    Migrant or Southern Migrant Hawker, Essex

    Photos taken by a friend at Bowers Marsh, Essex this morning. They assumed Migrant, but I'm leaning towards SMH - anyone able to confirm either way please..? Edit: Not sure what's happening with these photos - link to originals below: http://www.sognet.org.uk/Photos.asp
