There are still very rare sightings of dragonflies near my pond as yet but the Blue-tailed Damselflies are nearly always in evidence. Most are brightly coloured with their heads and tail ends glowing like little jewels in the sunlight.
These I assume are males of the species. Every so often I catch a glimpse of one with much duller markings which I think are the females.
After a gap of many weeks a Robin has started to visit the feeding area.
I am not sure whether this is a juvenile which has nearly all of its adult plumage or an adult which has been battling for its territory.
John must be an expensive foal to have a posh name.
ReplyDeleteDragon flies are scarce this year as are butterflies, last year was superb though.
Can never tell with Robins always scrapping over something. grand photos as usual.
I don't get many dragons visit my pond and they are usually around in August and September.
ReplyDeleteRobins are certainly vicious little fighters.
