Numbers will start declining this month. I usually see my last on an early fine November day, though the last national record is often received by the British Dragonfly Society in December, usually from the milder SW. |

if you have trouble telling them apart, look at the abdomen.
In the Ruddy, there is a fairly obvious constriction after the first segment. |

Many thanks for that Adam,I know the leg colour is different but that is not always easy to see,so your tip makes it much easier. Richard.
