Going to Elton Water Meadows for White Legs

I downloaded the Defra Map Grid Ref TL079 930 I assume I approach from Chapel Lane where do I park the Car. On the map where's the best place for the White Leg Damselfly and what others would I expect to see.

Thanks

See the attached map. Park next to Stocks Green and follow the track past the mill and over the lock. There are paths to the weir upstream. White-legs can be anywhere around here but have been most numerous just beyond the weir along the bank path. Should be loads of Banded Demoiselles, especially near the weir and along the backwaters, if the weather's OK.

Emperor patrol the river, Brown Hawker will be around, Black-tailed Skimmer on the banks and maybe Scarce Chaser on the river. Blue-tailed, Azure and Common Blue Damselflies, Common and Ruddy Darters may all be present. Migrant and Southern Hawkers should be on the wing.

If you continue west off this map beyond the weir you can get into the meadows off to your right. Well worth exploring here and following the Willow Brook upstream as far as you can.

Good luck - especially with the weather!

Thanks Brian
