Catfield Fen

Took a trip down to Catfield Fen today in the hope of seeing some Hairy Dragonflies and Variable Damselflies and I wasn't disappointed with good numbers of both present, with the former being particularly photogenic with this pair in tandem, and close-ups of female (middle) and male (bottom).


A few Four-spotted Chasers were also present.

As well as the Variables (pictured below), damselflies were in good numbers with Large Reds, Blue-tailed and Red-eyed also being seen.

On the butterfly front 3 separate sightings of Swallowtails were had, but none posed for a photo unlike the Brimstone below.
