🐉🌿 Wildlife Update from the Pond 🌿🐉

We were delighted to receive a visit from local dragonfly enthusiast Malcolm Short, who recently spent some time exploring our pond and sharing his fascinating observations.

Malcolm described the pond as an ideal habitat for dragonflies and damselflies, with waterside vegetation for emerging adults, plenty of perches, lily pads for egg-laying and clear water for hunting. The result - a thriving ecosystem packed with wildlife.

Dragonflies and damselflies are completely harmless to people – they don't bite or sting – but they do help control midges, mosquitoes and horseflies. They're also a wonderful sign of a healthy pond environment.

Although the season is still in its early stages, Malcolm recorded four species of dragonflies and damselflies during his visit:

💙 Azure Damselfly – by far the most numerous, with an estimated 100+ individuals, including mating pairs and females laying eggs.

❤️ Large Red Damselfly – around 50 were spotted around the pond, although one unfortunate individual became breakfast for a hungry Furrow Spider!

🩵 Blue-tailed Damselfly – around six were recorded, with females displaying an amazing range of colours including blue, purple, orange, green, brown and pink.

🖤 Four-spotted Chaser – a single dragonfly was seen on Peter's second lap of the pond. Larger than the damselflies and a spectacular sight, this is just one of the bigger dragonfly species expected to appear as summer progresses.

The pond wasn't the only wildlife hotspot either. Peter also spotted Green-veined White, Red Admiral and Holly Blue butterflies, along with 14-Spot and Harlequin ladybirds.

As different species emerge throughout the summer, we're looking forward to seeing what appears next and sharing further updates with you all.

Have you spotted any dragonflies, damselflies or other wildlife around the park recently? We'd love to see your photos in the comments! 📸
