Latest Leics & Rutland Dragonfly SightingsSunday, September 03, 20062 RED-VEINED DARTERS at Huncote
Huncote Embankment Sept 3rd 2006
Red-veined Darters, 2 immature Common Darters 100+ in general area Migrant Hawker 6+ Southern Hawker 1 Common Blue damselfly 1 (by pool area). Red-veined Darters, first spotted by Carl Baggott (just!) in sheltered area at the northern end of the embankment. SP512971. On the road between Huncote and Croft, after leaving Huncote, go over the brook and past the first field on left, park by the gateway at the end of this field. Walk through gate, turn right and go up the area between the bottom of the bank and the hedge and the darters were in a sheltered area just before path narrows and has to rise up slightly. They are fairly mobile, but distinctly more yellow than any Common Darters present, which is how we first spotted them.
