Bandeds Bow Out?

There was enough sunshine after work today to make a trip down to Weldon seem worth making. My primary goal was to establish whether any Banded Demoiselles had survived the recent run of bad weather. Unfortunately it looks as if none had and that they've finally finished their long run here this year. Not a great deal of other activity today either with a few Common Darters being joined by two male Southern Hawkers. Any chance of finding other dragons was brought to an abrupt halt by the arrival of a squally and very wet thunderstorm which had me making a hasty retreat to the nearby bus shelter. The only other wildlife of note was a single Red Admiral and a Chiffchaff feeding with a large tit flock.

Common Darters.
