Hi Des,
Damselflies were out in force today - including Large Reds, Common Blues, Banded and Beautiful Demoiselles (photos below) - especially along the Salwarpe. Perhaps it's time to start looking for Variables(?).
Also, any chance we might get a Vagrant Emperor Dragonfly?
Hi Dave. There's every chance you might see a Vagrant Emperor, thousands were in Europe and many have been seen along the south coast. Look for a bright blue ring near to the base of the abdomen in the male. Variables are out in other counties, but unless you catch one with a net or get a good photo', they are a tricky subject.
I'll be in contact tomorrow morning from somewhere in Worcestershire on an 'all-dayer' to see what's dropped in at Upton.
Des.
