Danbury on the 2nd September produced twenty-one Migrant hawkers and a single
Common darter.
Blue House Farm near Fambridge on the 6th September brought with it six Migrant
hawker along the grassy areas of the seawall with four Common darter frequenting the
wall.
A very windy day at Cutton Lock along the River Chelmer did not deter the few
dragonflies that were around. These dragonflies took the form of three Brown hawkers,
three Ruddy darters, five Common darter, sixteen Migrant hawker and one hundred
Common blue damselflies.
My dragonfly year ended on the 18th October with eight Common darters and two
Migrant hawker hanging around the few small bushes along the Dengie coast.
