Silver-studded Blues at Prees and Large Heath at Whixall - and some dragonflies




28 June - a visit to Prees Heath and then Whixall Moss with the East Midlands BC group. 12-15+ Silver-studded Blue (upper) seen well at Prees in windy conditions; then, at Whixall Moss, 12 Large Heath seen (middle), mostly darting low over the moss but several seen settled. Rather cryptic in colouration. 2 White-faced Darters(lower) also seen along with Emerald and Large Red Damselflies. Breezy and quite cool, with sunny intevals.
