River Brede damselflies
9th June 2008, MondayA surprising selection of damselflies can found along the River Brede, even along some of the faster flowing sections if a sheltered area can be found. In a small area checked at the weekend near Castle Farm six species were found. A female Banded Demoiselle (pictured) was a nice find, but finding Variable and Red-eyed Damselfly was unexpected. Azure, Common Blue and Blue-tailed were also present. Common Darters are now on the wing, several tenerals were found in long grass along the river bank.
