Hilfield Park Reservoir - 8th June 2021

 Another Odonata visit to a site that has had a great deal of Odonata habitat upgrading with a large area on the south side landscaped to create suitable habitat. A good mix of species were present, with Dragonflies represented by 15 Broad-bodied Chasers, six Four-spotted Chasers and two Black-tailed Skimmers. The best was a single Red-veined Darter. A single Painted Lady also flew through.
