Dragon Days

EEk can’t believe how long it’s been since I last posted. *slap wrist*

I’ve taken some time off work to concentrate on my thesis. So far this mainly seems to involve sunbathing in my garden while watching a blackbird carry worms back to his nest.  Although my armchair nature geeking has seen a lull, I’ve grabbed any excuse to get outdoors since the spring.

Yesterday was a beautiful and sunny day here in England, and I managed to snap a couple of close up shots of the dragonflies that have thrived in our pond this year. This is the first year we’ve had so many of them hatch, and as you can see in one photo-they’ve wasted little time before playing hide-the-sausage themselves.

Any ideas as to why this year has been such a successful one for them? Might just be as simple as the fact that we have s few more reeds left unkept this year.
