Wildlife Sightings - 28/06/26
A sunny morning with lots of dragonflies out early, Broad bodied chaser, Emperor Dragonfly and many Azure and Blue-tailed damselflies seen on the Amphibian ponds. Look for the striking blue tail of the Emperor and the size as it’s the biggest dragonfly in the UK. Kestrel fledglings also exploring around the Old Oak making quite a lot of noise.
