Small Red-eyed Damselflies

SREDamsel

Millennium Wetlands

At least three small red-eyed damselflies were perched on pondweed in-front of the Peter Scott hide today. Probably the most westerly population in Britain and the only one in Wales.

Other dragonflies on the wing included the first emerald damselfly of the year, as well as several emperors, black-tailed skimmers and common darters.

8 Mediterranean Gulls were in-front of the Peter Scott hide in the morning with 250+ black-tailed godwit, dunlin, 2 lapwing, 2 little grebe, 4 teal, and 3 little egret also on the lake.
