| Re: Thursley Common Meet
After reading Dragonfly News, it seems that 19 species of odonates survived the terrible fire, that engulfed the common last year. Apparently the numbers were down after the fire, as you would expect, I suppose.
A direct quote from the magazine article by Don Tagg, a long time Thursley Recorder reads,
' The problem will be that next summer they will emerge into a comparatively barren habitat with less insect food and the adults themselves will be more exposed to predation by birds.'
He goes on to say, 'My guess is that everything will be there but that the bog pool specialists particularly will be pretty scarce.'
Just thought I should let you know that incase anybody was looking for any particular species and therefore may be disappointed.
The warden is on his hols at the moment, but I will speak to him soon.
