    Exuviae 27 June, Belgium

    Please can you tell me what this is? I didn’t see it emerge on the garden pond. The pond is only a few years old. I am in the Belgian Ardennes one hour ten from the border with Luxembourg. I have only ever seen two Zygoptera and a patrolling male Blue Hawker here.

    Please can someone identify this plant, which was part of a ‘mat’ on the waters’ surface. I suppose it was rooted to the bottom of the pond, but this piece broke away quite easily. I don’t want to put an invasive species into my dragonfly pond. Thanks to you all again.

    Some water plants

    All of these were found in a ditch in West Sussex. Are the first four all Callitriche, but perhaps different species? Number 4 is the same as 2 from my previous thread and it is definitely a water plant. Number 5 looks like it has distinctive leaves, is it a Veronica? Thanks in advance for your...

    Swimming Bat in Belgian Ardennes

    Yesterday in daylight I was observing a small bat flying over the water in a quarry. Suddenly it dropped into the water and immediately began to swim towards a wall at the side. The swimming appeared confident and I thought the fact it was in the water was not an error it had made. It crawled up...

    House Martin nest boxes

    I have a couple of House Martin boxes to put up next year. I was just wondering how likely they are to be occupied? Some of my boxes, eg Tree Creeper box, have never been touched. Also how much of a problem can sparrows be in taking over the box? There are a few pairs nearby. With thanks.
