Dragonflies at Fowlmead

Plenty of dragonflies hawking, skimming, gliding, chasing and darting around Foulmead today.




The variety of flora that was present in the early summer (nice and wet) has faded, leaving the dry seeding stems as the shale quickly desiccates. Down on the low-lying fields, however, things are still green, and the cheery Fleabane brightens up the scenery.


Teasel

Burning bales, indicating a damp crop that is not worth keeping?
