The first reported sighting of a Kingfisher for many months, perched above Tim’s Pond. And then, even more exciting …
… a new damselfly, photographed on a butterbur leaf on the bank of Tim’s Pond, and later identified by Stephen Burch (Country Dragonfly Recorder) as a Small Red-eyed Damsel: “An amazing find, as I am only aware of one other reliable site in the county for this species – and that is in Faringdon! So very well done on that.”
This brings to 20 the number of species of damsel and dragon confirmed on the Trap Grounds (out of the 33 species recorded in the whole of Oxfordshire).
