Scarce Visitor to Shapwick - May 2010

At the end of May, while doing some survey work for the Avalon 24 bioblitz, I managed to photograph a new dragonfly for the reserve found by one of the visiting recorders. Scarce Chaser - Libellula fulva is a very local species in the south west but seems to be on the increase. Hopefully, this male found a female and we will see lots more of these along the South Drain in coming years.
