Crowle NNR,Lincolnshire.

I made a visit to one of my favourite summer haunts today,mainly to try and get some photographs of Large Heath.On arrival it was very warm,but about 50% cloud cover,but after an hour or two it began to break.My first notable sightings where the above mentioned Large Heaths which where out in very good numbers,with me seeing a minimum of 112 insects,a massive count and the most i have seen in 6 years of visits.Shortly after seeing my first Large Heaths,i came across a young buck Roe Deer,which made a quick exit once he saw this big ugly bloke walking towards him.My next highlight of the walk was a mature male Common Hawker,watched patrolling his watery territory,occasionally being harrassed by some very aggressive Four-spot Chasers,as he ventured into the territories.In all,i saw 5 Common Hawkers,4 males and 1 female,a decent count,as they are only just coming on the wing.By now it was getting very warm and i carried on my walk seeing another male Roe Deer and my first Heather Bug.I eventually made it back to the car after 4 hours and had some great sightings in the bag and look forward to my next visit..
