Yesterdays visit to Bouldnor Forest ponds
discovered the effects of our rather prolonged dry spell.Temperatures have
reached 30C almost every day for the last couple of weeks and the levels in the
scrape ponds are receding fast.Not surprisingly at the two Southern Emerald
breeding scrapes water has seemingly disappeared and now Emerald
Damselfly Lestes sponsa numbers are starting to
increase with up to six adult males,three copulating pairs,and several females
seen.
