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.

Crowle and Thorne Dragon's......
Female Black Darter,Thorne Moors NNR.
A trip out to this brilliant dragonfly site today,resulted in far fewer numbers of the expected species as i had been hoping for.We managed to record a total of 11 species in all,with the highlights being my first Common Hawker's,Black Darter's,Ruddy Darter,Emperor and Emerald Damselfly with a late Four-spot Chaser being seen also.The numbers recorded were as follows:Male Emperor,7 Common Hawker,1 Southern Hawker,5 Brown Hawker,15 Emerald Damselfly,10 Common-blue Damselfly,58 Black Darter,4 Ruddy Darter,5 Common Darter,1 Four-spot Chaser and a male Black-tailed Skimmer.Not a bad visit,but perhaps another visit in a few weeks time may reveal larger numbers of Black Darter.
