A Southern Hawker at Heysham nature reserve

I think I must be responsible for the poor summer we have had this year. With now 5 fine days in a row, starting on 09-09-09 (my 50th birthday), it is clear that nature held back the summer in order to properly celebrate the occasion (Common Hawker at Tim's Tarn being the principle present she gave me - at Tim's Tarn, Eskdale - not Heysham).

Seven species at Mere Sands Wood (ten for the week)

A few Common Blue Damselflies were still flying, along with a couple of Blue Tails and a solitary Emerald Damselfly. Common Darters were not all that numerous. Only one Southern Hawker. Also a few Brown Hawkers and a few more Migrant Hawkers (including this one):
