A visit to Felbrigg Park today revealed that a few Common Darters were emerging from the lake, with a number of tenerals seen taking their maiden flights, a number of spent exuvia found along the walled end of the lake, and the one below which was found having just emerged from its exuvia and then watched as its wings fully formed before flying off into the vegetation in the meadow.
The first Emperors I've seen there this year were patrolling the lake, along with a few Black-tailed Skimmers, and a few Broad-bodied Chasers, such as the one below, were patrolling the adjacent meadow and hedges.
Bird-wise the resident Little Owl was seen perched up on its usual tree surveying its surroundings.
