The Ring Ouzel that flew past the west side of Table Hill, and continued around the north side of North Hill, was relocated by the rocky crag on the east side of North Hill (pictured), before flying towards Chat/Happy Valley. It looks like a juvenile male. #WorcsBird

After finding a Red-veined Darter exuvia at Throckmorton main outer lagoon recently, a return visit this morning produced 2 newly emerged, a female at the west end & male in the NE corner. Next on to the western lagoons where 2 male Southern Migrant Hawker patrolled the reedbeds #WorcsDragonflies

With sightings of Southern Migrant Hawker at NT Croome Court Lake in recent days, I visited all my local patch sand/gravel pits in south Worcestershire & came up trumps with this egg-laying pair. 1st proven breeding for the county #WorcsDragonflies @britishdragonflies.bsky.social
