More Red-veined Darters

As the season seems to be over at Priory Water we are now begining to process all the Odonata records for this year.

We can now confirm that we too paid host to at least 4 male Red-Veined Darters. The first sighting was made in mid-June and these continued until early August. The insects were incredibly elusive and wary and best viewed through binoculars, we did get a few images between us but alas all were taken from great distance and although they are good enough to confirm ID they are only of record quality.

Attached to this post is possibly the best image we have taken by Graham Gamble on July 2nd.
