Amazingly another four keeled skimmers at Bickershaw Country Park today, with a male and female in the reedbed on Nevisons and two more males and possibly a female on the stream between New Water & Nevisons.
The keeled skimmers from two weeks ago were only the 2nd record ever from Greater Manchester and only the 2nd ever in either Lancashire or Greater Manchester away from the uplands! No idea what's going on, but that's at least six individuals on site, even assuming that the two on Nevisons today are the same as those that were there two weeks ago!
Say "cheese"......
"Cheeeeese"!
In this photo it looks as thought the dragonflies eyes have moved apart to reveal more of it's face but in actual fact it can't do that. In reality it's eyes have swiveled and it's looking directly up and not at me.
