Penallta & Parc Cwm Darran 02/10/2016

Looked at the horse-shoe ponds at Penallta and found no Dragons in residence, it was still a bit cold and the sun was stuck behind the clouds. I did find some Common Darters on the paths away from the ponds.



I then moved on to P.C.D. where I had to wait for the sun to come out before things started to happen. First the Common Darters started to show then Two male Southern Hawkers started to patrol the ponds. I did find a female Southern Hawker ovipositing on the bank and a female Migrant Hawker made a brief appearance. There was only One Damselfly on the pond which was an Emerald, a little late in the year for them but it has been a funny year weather wise.




The males would not stop for a photo.
