Funnily enough I caught up with the Drinker on Saturday - when one flew into the pub we were having dinner!! (The Sheppy out on the Somerset levels. Nice meal, good cider. )

Hi Marc, my first Hairy Dragonfly of 2025 on 19 April at Higham Marshes near Cliffe pools.

Well, surprisingly that happened today! Only a handful of spring London records most years so amazing to see two in a week. Thx Justin Sneddon for the pic.

Nice to see a local spring male Pied Fly. Thanks to the finder for sharing. Next step find my own - or a Rung Ouzel. Hard to get in the scope, high up and never still for long.
