Dragonfly safari (self-led)

Enjoy a self-led dragonfly family adventure!

Dragonfly safari (self-led)

Dates: From Saturday 21 June - Monday 22 September

Location: Amphibian ponds

Go on a family adventure around our reserve on the look out for dragonflies and damselflies. Pick up a spotter guide to help you and head to our amphibian ponds to spend a while exploring the area and seeing what wildlife you can spot. On a sunny day, you might see dragonflies flitting around catching yummy flies, or spot damselflies soaking up the sun on plants just above the water's surface.

This self-led activity is the perfect way to enjoy an afternoon, and there's no greater thrill than seeing these dazzling creatures up close doing their thing!

For more hints and tips on what to spot and where, check out our Spotting dragons and damsels blog!
