We had a trip out this morning to BBOWT
College Lake, much more comfortable in the cooler weather of today.
Headed towards the round hide and watched a large and very blue looking
dragonfly hawking at speed over the ditch on the right of the path, no
ID. Then came across this lone ducking looking very lost. A reed warbler
singing loudly a little further on. Best seats taken in the hide so
moved on. Heard and saw a raven fly over. It was amusing to see maybe
30 Canada Geese popping their heads up and down in the annual wildflower
meadow, having a beak full then popping up to see who’s
watching. Good numbers of butterflies
with gatekeepers possibly top with marbled white a close second. Others
included meadow brown, ringlets, whites a few commas and only saw these
two common blues, one male one female in different locations. Lots of
blue damselflies about.
At home, there might
have been a more sinister reason the frogs were jumping out of the pond
the other day, saw a large grass snake in there this afternoon.
