With a few reports coming in the past few days of Large Red Damselflies emerging, I decided to make a visit to Westbere Lakes to see if anything could be seen there. I arrived at 11:30 in sunny conditions although there was a chilly breeze but the warmth could be felt in the sheltered areas. It wasn't long until I found the first of 7 Large Red Damselfly seen today sheltering in sunny spots. It's been a while since I've used the macro lens but thankfully, I was soon slowly moving in and taking a few shots before moving in again. With a few shots in the bag and a good study of the subject, I continued on where I thought that a few more damselfly would be on the wing but despite a good search, I only ended up finding 1 Variable Damselfly. I think I must be a few days early but hopefully, they will be emerging in the coming days before my next visit. It won't be long until a number of species are on the wing in the next month or so and fingers crossed, I can make a few visits to sites to see and capture them with the camera.
