Dragonflies at Thursley Common















19 Aug - An excellent couple of hours at Thursley Common in Surrey, in sunny conditions. At least 50+ Black Darters seen - my main target species (3-7), along with 20+ Keeled Skimmers (8-9),several Ruddy Darters (10) among the Common Darters (11-12), and Emerald (14) and Common Blue Damselflies (13). Photos JM. Also seen, an Emperor and a Brown Hawker. A very good site, with extensive boggy heaths (1-2), and the boardwalks were quite busy with photographers.
