Black-tailed Skimmer
We went back to the fishing pool today, then Mick droves us miles down the country lanes. He stopped the car for photo ops. , whenever I wanted. We had a walk in a lovely wood that we hadn't been to for years. Weather was perfect. I saw banks of flowers, 3 species of Dragons and 3 species of Damsels, 9 species of butterfly, and even got a stop for an old Church. A lovely outing.
Whiston pool Staffordshire UK 13th July 2025
Only saw two males, no females. this visit or the first visit. They like banks clear of vegetation. I think the fishing platforms are the reason they are still here. The banks are well vegetated on this pond.
