I noticed an insect land near the pond around 10 Thursday
morning so stepped outside to have a look. A fresh Large Red Damselfly, I
checked the field guide. Then I looked for the case of the larvae which
it had emerged from and found another damselfly that had just emerged
and was pumping its body to expand its body and wings. Watched it on and
off all morning slowly getting bigger and slowly climbing higher up the
vegetation. It stayed where it was all night and was still there at
7.30 but had gone by 1.00pm. Also in the garden watched a weasel
Wednesday and Friday, while looking at the pond noticed a male smooth
newt in full breeding condition, with its full crest and coloured up.
