Small Red-Eyed Damsels in Berkshire

[derekmc]

Here's one for the local WAB members - has anyone seen any SRED this year?

I've been keeping an eye on the British Dragonfly Society's website, but as far as I can see none have been reported from Englemere Pond or any of the other sites in Berkshire. I certainly haven't come across any myself (I do most of my Odonata watching along the Thames, the gravel pits around West Reading/Theale, or out towards Padworth Common & Aldermaston).

I know they've never been recorded in Berkshire in any great numbers. All the same, it's surprising to have no records at all when the species is doing so well elsewhere.

Thanks.
Derek

Yep-here in Kent, but I haven't seen so many this year on my patch.
Here's one from Stodmarsh.
