Catching Up

During the week and a bit since my last post, i have been splitting my time between the Dorset heathland, and Lodmoor. These two quite different habitats have been host to a lot of recent wildlife action. Lodmoor has its spring population of migratory and resident songbirds all shouting the odds, and staking their territories in the reedbeds, while the heathland ponds are giving up the early crop of damselflies, and dragonflies. Also on the heath now are the Green Hairstreak butterflies, (that i have yet to photograph this season) and other early species. Below is a fresh male Downy Emerald. Below that is a noisy male Sedge Warbler, and bottom a female Downy Emerald.
