There was some nice sunshine mid-morning on RSPB Worth marshes and it produced a number of Damselflies along the edge of the Great Wood, namely our first three Large Red Damselflies and two Common Blue Damselflies. A Variable Damselfly was also seen elsewhere on site. Both of the latter two species are our earliest ever records!

Three Hairy Dragonflies at Mary Bax were our first Odonata of the year, and not only that, but our earliest ever records of this species (previously 18th April in 2014).
