Red-eyed Damsels at Leg O'Mutton
Red-eyed Damselflies are now out at Leg O'Mutton Dam, near Taylor Park. This is one of the few places in St Helens where you can see this species. I counted at least 20 today. Not such good news from nearby Paddock Dam, where much of the species preferred habitat of lily pads seems to have been removed.
