A second visit. This time focused on Lodge Inclosure.
Starting at the Butterfly Conservation reserve at Bentley Station.
This male Golden-Ringed Dragonfly was patrolling a small area and often resting on docks. A couple of Brown Hawkers were also present. And a Purple Emperor flew through.
A nice patch of Betony by the path...
Zig-Zag Clover
I dread to think how many Speckled Wood photos I have taken
This Hornet was doing the dragonfly thing: it came down to the surface of a pond to drink (presumably).
