My blog will be mainly used to display photographs and a diary of sightings of the many species of Dragonfly and Damselfly occurring in my adopted home County of Lincolnshire with occasional i.d. features to some of the trickier species and occasional visits further afield.

Male Azure Damselfly.
Female Brown Hawker.
A visit today to MSQ in some good conditions at last,saw me seeing as the header suggests,my first Brown Hawker's of the year and also my earliest personal records,with 5 insects being seen,with all but 1 being mature insects and a female allowed me a close approach,with some superb photographic oppertunities.Other first records for the year included a couple of Southern Hawker,with one along the approach track to the reserve and the other a confiding male in the plantation and a single Female Broad-bodied Chaser,briefly seen before it shot into the tree canopy!.Also seen around the reserve,were 2 male Hairy Dragonfly,5 Four-spot Chaser and 3 Black-tailed Skimmer.A good day at last!.
