Cyfarthfa Castle, 14/07/2025

 While up in Merthyr I popped around to Cyfarthfa castle for a quick look at the ponds behind the castle. There were a lot of Damselflies about, Common Blue, Azure and Blue-tailed but I only saw two Dragons. One being an male Emperor who flew across a pond and then disappeared, the other being a Golden-ringed Dragonfly which did stop for a picture and then that too disappeared. Whether it was the rain showers or the wind I do not know but there is a lack of Dragonflies at this site at the moment.
