22nd May..... Broad-bodied Chaser.

Out in the garden very early this morning just after six o'clock, at 6-30 heard a distant Cuckoo, very rare here nowadays.

Around mid morning Cathy payed a visit, while checking out the pond she found this female Broad-bodied Chaser freshly emerged & drying out in the sun's rays.

Later on I found another still beside it's Larval casing. Small Copper & Orange Tip on the wing in the garden.
Don.
