Watching dragonflies and damselflies colonise Beckingham's ditches and scrapes has been one of the highlights of the project over the last four years. Another species was added to the list last year in the shape of Hairy Dragonfly and one was seen again a few weeks ago.
Whilst on the reserve last week, I was delighted to add Red-eyed Damselfly to the site list and if that wasn't enough, Banded Demoiselle only a few days later.
Other insects on the wing this week have included Silver Y and Yellow Shell day-flying moths.
