Latest Leics & Rutland Dragonfly SightingsSunday, July 08, 2007Priory Water 8th July 2007 The recent adverse weather does not seem to have had much impact on the Odonata population of the reserve. In hot sunny weather today most species previously seen this year were recorded in good numbers, with the exception of Large Red & Variable Damselfly, both of which are nearing the end of their flight season. The first Southern Hawker of the year was recorded today along with the first Ruddy Darters. There are now large numbers of both Brown Hawker & Emperor on the wing. Perhaps the most exciting records this weekend were the 4+ Small Red-Eyed Damselflies found in different areas of the reserve, all were mature males perched on the algal blooms on the lake margins.
