WE WENT TO BRENEY COMMON YESTERDAY FOR THE
MARSH FRITILLARY AND SAW MAYBE A COUPLE OF
DOZEN, ALSO A COUPLE OF SMALL-PEARL BORDERED
FRITILLARY AND THE USUAL SELECTION OF DRAGONFLIES.

MORE DRAGONFLIES
WE WENT TO GOSS MOOR 2 DAYS AGO AND THERE WERE
LOADS OF GOLDEN-RINGED DRAGONFLIES AROUND.
TODAY WE HAD A COUPLE OF HOURS AT BISSOE AND
DIDN'T SEE ANY WHICH IS VERY UNUSUAL FOR THAT
AREA BUT WE DID SEE 3 SOUTHERN HAWKERS.
HAVEN'T SEEN A COMMON HAWKER YET THIS YEAR.

WE GOT THE BLUES
We went to Collard Hill for the Large Blue and managed to see 5 or 6 individuals. This is a first for us having failed on several previous attempts. A little disappointed that we couldn't get a better picture of them with open wings but they rarely bask with them open.
We also went to a fantastic reserve called Westhay Moor hoping for Hairy Dragonfly, we saw a few but could get no pictures. Another one for next year.
