Although I don't feel that I got out as much as I wanted to this year for a number of reasons, I certainly had a few quality sessions. My tours were well attended and I made it to a number of sites throughout the season to see some of Kent's finest odonata. The Scarce Blue tailed Damselfly did well again at Sandwich Bay with low double figures seen which was encouraging and I saw my first ever 'Kent aurantiaca' female form which was a stunner. The Dainty Damselfly continues to do well at a few sites still and provided a few visits to count and photograph them. The Lesser Emperor continues to go from strength to strength with excellent numbers at New Hythe and a few reports from other sites. It was nice to once again connect with the Red veined Darter with a few males seen at Sandwich Bay and at Cliffe Marshes, the nationally rare Southern Emerald Damselfly was seen well and is one of my favourite species to photograph.
With a number of photos taken, I have had a look through them and picked out a few of my favourites to showcase. It's been another good year for the camera and fingers crossed, the odonata species continue to do well in Kent and provide many more memories and photos next year.
