Fobney Island - 5th June 2021

A late morning visit to see Beautiful Damselflies that are found at Fobney Island, and also see if any White-legged Damselflies were out. We managed a few Beautifuls but no White-leggeds. We also came across a population of Variable Damselflies, one area locally where a few are to be found along different sections of the Kennet and Avon canal. The usual common Damselflies were present as well, along with the first Emperor Dragonfly of the year, two Broad-bodied Chasers, three Four-spotted Chasers and three Hairy Dragonflies. 

A single Dingy Skipper was seen, which potentially is a new Butterfly species for the site.
