Jen and I met Paul Brewster this morning at his local patch near Northwich in Cheshire, hoping to see a Downy Emerald.
Upon arrival, Paul found a Downy Emerald near the car park. We couldn't believe it; we all had brilliant views as it perched in the sun on a hedge.
After observing the Downy Emerald and not anticipating finding this species so soon, we said are goodbyes to Paul and headed to our next location in search of Hairy Dragonflies at a farmer's pond near Chester. Upon our arrival, we spotted four Hairy Dragonflies flying around us, and then one perched right near us.
We have had a fantastic two days in the field, with excellent views of every species we encountered. Next weekend promises to be another exciting adventure, with more Butterflies and Dragonflies to add to our lifelist.
