One of 3 Common Darters seen today during an afternoon visit to the Kenfig salt marsh. 2 males and 1 female.

Baglan Dunes

In some of the more sheltered parts of the dunes and saltmarsh areas it was pleasantly warm, around midday today. 3 species of dragonfly were noted today, but rather frustratingly, pinning them down for a photo proved unsuccessful in each instance.
