British dragonfly and damselfly flight times
Tuesday, 1. September 2009, 20:32:39
Recently, after a quick search of the web, I couldn't find an easy reference with all the dragonfly (and damselfly) emergence and flight times on one page. So I decided to make one.
The light blue represents the start and finish of the flight time for each species, with the dark blue being the main flight period. I used Smallshire and Walsh (2004) as the source of this infomation.
The table itself should be used as a guide, rather than an exact calender, since dragonfly emergence and flight times vary due to weather and where you are in the UK with emergence times tending to be later the further north you are. Climate change appears to be affecting emergent times too, with milder winters leading to early emergences and flight times continuing into late autumn.
Happy dragonfly (and damselfly) hunting!

Puffins in flight and on water
Thursday, 16. July 2009, 22:19:34
Here are my final batch of puffin photos. These were taken later than the others, when the clouds had returned and the sun no where to be seen (until, of course, the moment we got back to the mainland!) First up, floating on the water near the dock
