Yesterday (3rd) I had just enough time to squeeze a quick walk around the stream and pond at Weldon in between returning from Norfolk and an anniversary dinner. There was not a huge amount of stuff on view but it still had its moments.

Mainly Banded Demoiselles and Azure Damsels among the nettles though a Red Admiral was seen but not photographed. Other butterflies seen were Orange-tip and several whites. Around the pond I had my first Weldon dragon of the year with a Four-spotted Chaser taking that honour. Lots of mating activity among the Azures and also a likely female Variable was seen too. Red-eyed Damselflies and at least one Common Blue made up the rest of the day's list.

Not much to report birdwise though some other wildlife interest was provided by several Bee Orchids found around the pond.
