Oh, those seals are lovely! I think late summer (and autumn) is a good time for them, lucky you!
Saw a fabulous huge dragonfly here yesterday, like a mini-helicopter, and very iridescent 'jewel' colours/turquoise and gold - I've not managed to ID it yet - but I wonder if the one you've asked about here is a "Common Darter"? Markings do seem to vary with sex and age though, and I'm no expert....
Also saw a Green Woodpecker feeding on the grass, and managed to creep up quite close - no camera with me though.. Still a total absence of water voles, none for over 6 weeks now.. :(
That's disappointing about the voles. I've not been able to get down for a fortnight, so I'm going to check it out now.
Thanks for the dragonfly ID. Yours might be a Southern Hawker? I'm v jealous of your green woodpecker sighting.
Kate, I think your picture of the three Hawkers is a wonderful spot...
must be a shortage of females in Nth Yorks...
possible caption...
"Hoi, I saw her first!"....
or...
"My turn next?"....
Love the seals!
