Dragonflies

Another baking day (26 °c in the shade.) Went to Fowlmere for an hour when it had cooled down at 5pm. Usual stuff, including Cetti’s Warbler (heard), Turtle Doves, and a Garden Warbler (though I think one of yesterday’s may actually have been a Blackcap, which seem to be doing very well – including the pair in our garden which were actively stripping the Apple Tree of caterpillars first thing.)

But best was the year’s first Dragonflies:

Azure (or Common?) Damselfly
Hairy Dragonfly x 5+
Large Red Damselfly
