An after work pop to Weybread on a hunch that the Lilypad Pit may hold something interesting. Back in the early summer I had a few Red-eyed Damselflies there and sure enough this time I found
Small Red-eyed Damselflies. And not just a few, c120 was a fairly conservative estimate with every bit of surface vegetation holding some! A single
Willow Emerald was also a nice find on a bramble hedge and I also had
Common Blue Damselflies, Brown Hawker, Small Copper, Brown Argus, Common Blue, Small Tortoiseshell, Small White and a
Green Woodpecker.
I returned today with my camera to get these pics and added
Kingfisher, Emperor Dragonfly, Common Darters, Holly Blue, Blackcap and a few
Blue-tailed Damselflies including a nice pale green
'infuscans' female.
