During a trip back to my home town in July I was fortunate to come across this Avocet family.

Back in mid May I visited a local pond to see how the Damselflies were progressing, after half an hour I had only spotted a couple of large red damselflies, although I noticed a lot of Sparrow activity around the pond edges, taking a shot of one Sparrow I noticed in its beak was a newly emerged damselfly, I then focused on many more Sparrows to find that each and everyone had at least one newly emerged damselfly in its beak. Its tough being a Damselfly.

Saturday 24th July was the second time I took a small group to Woodland Valley the purpose of the visits was to survey the Odonata population, 14 species to date. Early evening with the survey complete we sat by a large dammed pond still and quiet apart from the odd slap and whispered profanity as the insects were biting hard, an hour or so later the water surface broke and there was a special visitor, a minute or two later he was joined by another, the silence was then truly broken by some furious clicking of camera shutters. This was a perfect end to our field trip, we all left the site feeling very privileged and looking forward to our next visit.
