Black darter and other dragonflies Bickershaw


A black darter at Bickershaw wasn't completely unexpected since they used to occur on Bold Moss in St Helens and that is (was) a very similar place. Never-the-less as far as I know this is the first black darter recorded on the site. It's also the sixteenth species of odonata that I have recorded on the site since the middle of June!



This ovipositing female broad-bodied chaser performed well today!




Male broad-bodied chaser.


Red-eyed damselflies. Both males I assume that the righthand bird bending down it's abdomen is some kind of threat to keep away.
