Lisvane & Llanishen Reservoirs

  A few hours around these reservoirs purposely looking for Dragons and there was a lot of Damsels in the vegetation around the water and footpaths, mainly Common blues with a few Azures.

 


As the sun came out so did some Black-tailed Skimmers with five males patrolling along the waters edge and two females, one pair coming together and mating. Now and again a male would land on the footpath but kept on being push along by the joggers.



There is a great looking pool near the grounds of the Llanishen reservoir but fenced off and "No Public Access" which is a pity because it could be good for Dragons.
