Garden Wildlife UK

A first today at the chateau as we had a dragonfly enter through the open patio door. It made a hell of a racket trying to get out again getting stuck between the blind and the window. I managed to release it without harm but did get a chance to ID it. It was a Southern Hawker which is probably the most common of the bigger species.

Well done for helping JS.

I caught a glimpse of a Common Darter today but unfortunately it did not stop for a photo.

Good spot JS, they are not easy to catch up with.

One from Radipole Lake earlier this month

Very nice PB, not seen any yet this ear.

How nice PB...still not seen any :-(

Only Damsels so far this year.

Male Blue-tailed Damsel

I went for a walk on the patch yesterday, looking for damsel and dragonflies, I found both and was quite pleased

Still editing photos but, I remembered to try a video, for a change
