Latest Leics & Rutland Dragonfly SightingsMonday, July 31, 2006Another new site for SRED
Saturday 29 July
Had another look at the pond near Houghton Lodge today (SK 654024), and found 15 ovipositing pairs of Small Red-eyed Damselflies plus 10 or 12 unpaired males. Also present: Common Blue Damselfly, Emerald Damselfly and Ruddy Darter. We then tried another site in Thurnby, a large ornamental pond surrounded by houses (Thurnby Court) at SK 645038. Here we found 5 ovipositing pairs and 10 male Small Red-eyed Damselflies. Also present, at least 2 Red-eyed Damselflies, and a male Brown Hawker Sunday 30 July Houghton Lodge pond (SK 654024). Numbers of Small Red-eyed seem to be increasing, with 35-40 pairs and several unpaired males. Also Emerald Damselfly, Common Blue Damselfly, Ruddy Darter, Southern Hawker. Also re-visited the Little Stretton pool (SK 645038) again: 5 or 6 pairs of Small Red-eyed and 3 or 4 single males. Also Common Blue & Emerald Damselfly, Ruddy Darter, Emperor, Southern Hawker.
