Southern Hawker

A good day for dragonflies at the observatory today, the the years first small red-eyed damselfly and brown hawker recorded. Brown hawker was first recorded here in 2014, and has been in 5 subsequent years. The woodpecker movement continues with both green and great spotted juveniles being seen out on the reserve. 


The Festoon is a moth that likes oak woods. As such its a scarce visitor here. 

Birds Ringed: Blackbird 1, Blue Tit 2, Dunnock 3, Goldfinch 1, Great Tit 1, House Sparrow 2, Linnet 1, Starling 85
