With recent records of Small Red-eyed Damselfly at Boultham Mere and Whisby Settlement Lagoons it was enevitable that the the species must be at Whisby Nature Reserve.
With a break in the weather (and a break from grassland management) I have finally managed to track down a few individuals thus confirming the first records for Whisby NR. Yesterday (Friday 25th) there were 3 males and a female (included in this total was a pair ovipositing) and today I saw a single male before the motor on the boat packed in. All records from algal mats on Grebe Lake. Also recorded around Whisby over the last two days.....
3+ male Banded Demoiselle 6+ Emerald Damselfly 50+ Blue-tailed Damselfly Common Blue Damselfly still in the thousands 3 Red-eyed Damselfly 50+ Brown Hawker 1 Southern Hawker 12+ Migrant Hawker 1 Emperor Dragonfly Common Darter in the hundreds 3 male Ruddy Darter
