Llanerch Wood 14/05/2017

At Llanerch wood there were alot of Blue-tailed Damsels in the bankside vegetation wheather it was because of the wind I do not know but it did make taking photos a little bit tricky. The other Damsels were Red-eyed Damsels(14) and Azures, I also saw a few Blue-tailed Damsels of the form rufescens.
The Red-eyed were on the lily pads with two seen in tandem.






No Dragonflies seen.

Lavernock Point NR & Cosmeston 14/05/2017

At Lavernock there were alot of Large Red Damsels at the small pond mainly males and staying on the vegetation around the pond, I also found one Blue-tailed Damsel.



At Cosmeston the pond to the left of the Visitor centre held Common Blue Damsels and one Hairy Dragonfly which was taken by a coot.


I then moved on to Llanerch wood.
