Ok, so this is a bit like playing Russian roulette with our current fantastic summer weather but I'm finally going to fix a date for a proposed WAB Dragonfly meeting.
The Date - Saturday 11th August.
Venue - my local reserve called Priory Water, here in deepest East Leicestershire.
The reserve is a strictly private nature reserve with no public access and is therefore totally unspoilt.
It comprises of over 200 acres of fantastic mixed habitats, lakes, ponds, slow-flowing river, wildflower meadows, scrub, young woodland etc....
It is by far one of the
best sites for Odonata in the Midlands and has a current species list of
23, the vast majority of my images are taken there, infact its my second home
Small Red-Eyed Damselfly
E.viridulum was found on the reserve for the first time last year and is just begining to emerge now.
As well as Odonata the reserve also boasts excellent lists for Birds, Butterflies, Moths , other insects & wildflowers.
We do have a small field centre with proper toilet facilitys.
The reserve is within very easy reach of both the M1 & A1 giving good links from all directions.

Steve.
