Spring turns to summer

Some happenings along the rivers at the moment.

 

A beautiful dragon

An aside on one of the tours last month procured one of these. Miles from water this male Banded Demoiselle was in his prime.

Kingfisher Colours

While doing some survey work the other week on the Waveney there was a small hatch of Banded Demoiselles.

These have to be a contender for the UK’s most beautiful insect. The reflective nature of the colours is just magnificent; matching the brilliance of a Kingfisher, any photograph just can’t do it justice.
