    UK Dragonflies and Damselflies 2023

    Hi Nick, I've only seen one Common Darter so far this year so yes it is early for them. I will have to check any darters I see more carefully than normal as there does seem to be an influx of Red-veined. Hoping one will turn up in Bedfordshire as it a species missing from my county list. Tim

    Hi Nick, Red-veined Darter would be a major rarity at Paxton. Common Darter is very much more likely, though it is still quite early in the year for them. Tim

    Hairy Dragonflies are certainly flying at Paxton. I saw a couple there this morning. Tim

    Yes, Paul's suggestion is much better. Hairy Dragonfly is fairly common round here. Probably too early for Southern and that species is fairly distinctive. Tim

    Very unlikely to be Common Hawkers at Paxton. Despite its name it hasn't occurred in this part of the country for many years. Southern Hawker is a distinct possibility. Tim
