Hold the front page! After a day roaming around Cadover Bridge with Graham I remembered I had been given one simple task by the wife to pick the washing in before her return from work tonight.
As usual I got distracted by other things (downloading today's pictures) and have literally just run out and ripped the clothes down from the line in a blaze of adrenalin fuelled panic. BUT as I was walking back from my chore, I saw a familiar shape on a lily pad; a Southern Hawker Nymph case. At last they have started to emerge, typically just as the weather is changing.
Cadover too was a reasonably productive day, bearing in mind how dull the sky was, although the temperature did not dip below 19 degrees. I will post a selection of the pictures taken when I have tidied them up a bit,
Todays list was: -
Damsels
Common Blue (M&F)
Blue Tail (M)
Azure (M)
Large Red M&F)
White Legged (M&F)
Emerald (M)
Beautiful Demoiselle (M&F)
Dragons
Golden Ringed (M)
Keeled Skimmer (F)
Black Darter (F)
We also had a good day with the birds, with the highlights being good views of Stonechat, Whinchat, Wheatear, Reed Buntings and Meadow Pipits.
All in all a good day in the great outdoors and miraculously neither of us fell in the river.
