Even though the forecast was far from great for butterdamseldragons, we decided to try our luck at Slufters Pond in the New Forest. Slufters Pond actually consists of two ponds, a smaller one to the north ...
The weather indeed did what it was forecast to do: thick clouds and regular rain or drizzle. Butterfly activity was pretty low, though we did see several graylings and a few silver-studded blues.
In terms of odos, several common blue damsels, a few common darters and a few keeled skimmers. Plus several emerald damselflies, which we only saw for the first time a few days ago. Really nice to see several more today!
Both ponds had patrolling emperors as well as ovipositing empresses. Must say I'm really pleased with this picture!
Not a lot of activity due to the crappy weather, but here the usual tables (one = 1; few = 2-4; several = 5-9; many = 10+):
