With the mid summer lull in birdlife continuing I had promised good friend Steve Seal the chance to see his first Golden-ringed Dragonflies & Keeled Skimmer!! After meeting up at Cramer Gutter,Shropshire we were soon having fantastic views of both target species with an added bonus of Steve finding a cpl of Slow Worms (made my day!!) We then headed upto Whixall Moss for Large Heath & White-faced Darter which were duly bagged along with Black Darter,Common Hawker,Brown Hawker & a cpl of Silver-washed Fritillaries! Finally headed over to Prees for the Silver-studded Blues a good day with no less than 4 new species for myself & a good few for Steve & Ann.....
