I jumped on my bike today and rode to Radley to look for Damsels and Dragonflies.When I arrived the place was buzzing with them. I had a possible sighting of a Male Lesser Emperor in the strip of water between Thrupp lake and Bullfield lake, it was all to brief and frustratingly wasn't seen again, so may well be worth looking out for! A few Migrant Hawkers were also in this area.On Orchard lake there were at least 5 Small red-eyed damsels. I had to get a little bit wet to get the photos of them.
