Penallta Park 14/06/2026

 My second visit to the park and a lot more on the wing, I did not do my usual route  so did not take in the fishing ponds and wet meadow. There were a lot of Damsels on show, Blue-tailed, Azure and Large Red. Mainly all males.




On one of the pools there were three Broad-bodied Chasers (two males, one female) both males fighting over the female.



And near by what I believe to be an immature male Black-tailed Skimmer.



Will more than likely make another visit in the coming weeks.
