A few more of emerging Southern Hawker

One of the four amazing creatures to emerge from our garden pond yesterday.  Despite a constant battle with 4 Mallards the Pond has been full of life this spring with fantastic displays from our Newts egg laying on anything they could get their feet on.

 

All the Hawkers came out on the Yellow Loosestrife and the flag iris on the far side of the pond all on the same day, presumably yesterday was the day around the country for them to emerge?

Emerging Southern Hawker

One of four to emerge from the pond this morning, this one had not long been out of its casing which you can see just to the right and now waiting for its wings to dry in the sun.

   

Messingham Sand Quarries

A lovely autumnal day with lots of sunshine brought out lots of dragons today but no sign of the Osprey!
