[QUOTE="Tideliner, post: 1528881, member: 49435"] No Harrassedad i meant Common Hawker. For at least the past 20 years we have had a small population breeding in the acidic woodland pools at Swanton Novers. For the past 13 years we have had a policy of opening up the woodland pools and the dragonfly population has risen sharply with 21 species recorded over the past decade and 14 species breeding. All the reserve and some of the nearby ponds are surveyed 3 times a month and about 2 miles of woodland rides surveyed once a week weather allowing.
