Along the Forest Rides.

With no sightings of Southern Emeralds since the 21st June it was a case of recording the more common odonata in Bouldnor Forest yesterday.The Black-tailed Skimmer normally out in numbers on the forest tracks and at the ponds seems to be very restricted this year and I was pleased to encounter this female hunting for prey. Also along the rides were several immature Southern Hawkers doing the same.
Meanwhile back at the ponds,which by the way are quickly receding in water level,the Common Darters are starting to emerge in numbers.
