Day 8 of the 2024 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. Ruddy Darter is the second-commonest of the red species in the UK, very widespread. This one was at the wonderful #RSPB #StrumpshawFen, #Norfolk, in early August. #DragonflyAdventCalendar #invertebrates #ukwildlife #photography
I went to #Norfolk for a couple of days - here are some photos from the RSPB reserves at #StrumpshawFen, #Snettisham and #FramptonMarsh. Fleabane, Bogbean, Perennial Sow Thistle, Musk Thistle. #WildflowerHour #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography
Day 19 of the 2023 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. Norfolk Hawker. Also known as Green-eyed Hawker, but don't tell our Norfolk county recorder that! This one at #RSPB #StrumpshawFen in July but they're now quite widespread outside #Norfolk too - they have been quite a conservation success story in recent years. #DragonflyAdventCalendar #wildlife #insects #wildlifephotography #invertebrates
