Thank you Pete, Goosey, Paul and cazzie for your replies. It had been a gorgeous day out there at the dam. Henrya and I were in our favourite hide, which is the Welches Dam Hide. My walking difficulties mean we seldom go further.
The walk back was wonderful after 7pm with lazy common darter dragons sitting on the fence actualy allowing me to touch them. This is incredible.. I had no idea their wings were so hard! I had expected something like Crane Fly wings, and next time I am going to encourage one onto my hand. There was also a huge bronze dragon which I havent started to identify!!
The Emperor let us watch him for some time but as soon as I brought out my camera he was off!! How do they know???
A few steps from the hide was a lovely
Painted Lady resting on a thistle.
This site has so much to offer that we have never made it back to Welney which had been our destination when we found WD. We have now made 5 visits and I dont think we will go anywhere else for some time, there is so much to see.
Fraid I didnt see tree sparrows at the VC Pete, at least I didnt notice them other than to say oh yes sparrows. I have an abundance of sparrows at home and lovely little dunnock. It is bad of me not to seperate them.
Thanks for sharing our day
