Partner's Garden. 13/08/2025

 While doing some work in my partners garden a hawker came through hunting and decided to rest up in a bush so managed to get a pic. A female Southern Hawker.

Llanerch Wood 10/08/2025

 A return visit to this site and nothing has improved, Dragons were few and far between and like Pysgodlyn Mawr not a lot of Damsels about. I only found a few Blue-tailed Damsels and a couple of Common Darters.

Pysgodlyn Mawr 10/08/2025

 My 2nd visit to this site and nothing as changed, Dragons were few with only male Common Darters around the pond although I did catch a glimpse of a male Black-tailed Skimmer. There were a few Damsels about but again not many, Azure and Blue-tailed.





In an area nearby which is a forestry tree fell area I found more Common Darters and a single Male Golden-ringed Dragonfly plus a hawker flying high and hunting.



I then moved onto Llanerch Wood.
