Dragonflies on the Amble marshes today, 12th June 2018.

Male Broad bodied Chaser

A lovely morning and the marshes were teeming with dragonflies & damselflies this morning.

Species included, Common Darter, Emperor, Black tailed Skimmer, Broad bodied Chaser, 4 spotted Chaser, Beautiful Demoiselle, Blue tailed & Azure damselflies.

Didn't manage to get shots of all of them as it was hot & bright and they were very active.

I think another visit at dawn is on the radar!

The fine weather sparked a large turnout for the Cornwall Wildlife Trust Photographic Group field trip to the Goss Moor in mid Cornwall.

There were a few insects to photograph but overall numbers were low due to the long spell of awful weather we've had. A few images follow.
