Saturday 20 May 2006 Despite the poor weather, numerous damselflies were found sheltering amongst the vegetation surrounding the car park at Kirkby Gravel Pits this morning. These consisted of mainly Azure and Blue-tailed, but also surprisingly two Red-eyed Damselflies. Does anyone know if this species has been recorded at this site before? Nearby at Kirkby Moor during a brief glimpse of sunshine, many more damselfies were seen in a sheltered woodland ride and these included, Large Red, Azure, Blue-tailed and a few Common Blue. Regards Dave Wright, Steve Routledge and Chris Atkin |

Dave Red-eyed damselflies have been known from the Kirkby reserve area from at least the mid-1990's when I was the voluntary reserve manager there. They particularly liked resting on the floating algal mats in front of the hide. Brian |
