Went along to Bell Lake Marsh with David Chapman today to do a bit background information on the article that he is writing about the RRR work along the valley since we started last September and was treated to an absolutely fantastic display of aerial acrobatics and dog fights over the new scrape! It couldn't have been a better example of the good that we have done, 2 or 3 Four Spot Chasers scrapping out for supremecy with a Broad Bodied Chaser & couple of Keeled Skimmers while the damselflies looked on. Plus sitting their around the edge of the scrape as they do around countless reservoirs and farm ponds was a totally new species for the site! A male Black-tailed Skimmer!!! How good is that!
