So we had high winds and rain (eventually!) but little sign of frost so a few dragonfly records are still coming in. A hawker (possibly Common) was seen near Cleeton St Mary on 25th October and Geoff Hall saw Migrant Hawker and Common Darter at Walcot Lakes on 22nd October. A little earlier on 14th October Geoff saw as many as 12 Migrant Hawker at Dinham, Ludlow and one of the males is photographed here. It’s anyone’s guess how long the dragonflies will be flying this year. The latest previous Shropshire record was a Common Darter seen on 25th November and another month may be a challenge, but we’ll see…
