Late Spring, early Summer..
This afternoon I finished off the painting of the information shelter at Pembrey Burrows LNR, it was nice to hear passing visitors saying how much better it looks now, I'll post a photo when the sun is out next to show it at it's best.I then went and had a look at the pond in field 2, specifically for Odonata, given the overcast and breezy conditions it was no surprise just to see a few Blue Tail, albeit the type with the red thorax
Then I looked at the pond in field 3, just as the sun came out and within a few seconds there were 6 species of Odonata on the wing, Chasers, Hawkers, and Darters; the list looks like this;
Emperor, Black-tailed Skimmer, Broad Bodied Chaser, Blue Tail damsel, Common Bluet, and Common Darter.

Common Bluet, a bit fuzzy sorry
On the Orchid front the time of the Green-winged Orchids has passed and now its the Southern Marsh Orchids which are at their best, with Pyramidal Orchids really getting going plus some site scarcer species including Common Spotted Orchid and the Heleborines, these really are only just starting but in a week or so I should be able to get them to species.
Common Spotted Orchid
