Cogito ergo sum
Spent a pleasant couple of hours at the Flashes this morning. Saw Des briefly and bumped into a few nameless faces. Apart from a 25 bird Curlew flock that landed on the Mud Flats as I arrived there was little else to report other than confirming the delivery of a nice big bar-b-que. I'll get a chain and lock to lash it to the hide legs for safe keeping.
I'll attach a few picture 'cos I can...
Curlew
Jackdaw
Common Darter
Common Hawker and a bug/fly thing that was just a touch too close to me (in HB hide) to focus on it properly... anyone know its name?
The second dragon looks like a Migrant Hawker. Common Hawkers are very rare in worcestershire.
The bug looks like it could be a kind of Ichneumon Wasp (or a Braconid).
Now I'm not too sure about the Darter - but it appears to have all black legs and could be a Ruddy Darter. Over to Des for comments on that one.
