My yearly reminder to odonata enthusiasts on what's flying in what month, give or take a few days depending on weather patterns. @britishdragonflies.bsky.social #Teamdragonfly

It won't be long until our first true Dragonfly emerges. Always look forward to seeing the first Hairy Dragonfly of the season. @britishdragonflies.bsky.social #Teamdragonfly

Time to start refreshing my mind on all the tricky immature Damselfly species before they emerge. It won't be long. @britishdragonflies.bsky.social #Teamdragonfly

With the dragonfly season upon us, im taking bookings for private Dragonfly tours around Kent. Can be a site or sites. Kent offers some of the rarest species in the UK to see. Please contact me for any more information. @britishdragonflies.bsky.social #Teamdragonfly

The 2026 is go! The first Large Red Damselfly seen in Cornwall today. @britishdragonflies.bsky.social #Teamdragonfly

Nice to see plenty of Willow Emerald Damselfly gall marks on the trees now the leaves have dropped. A good time of year to get checking likely areas. @britishdragonflies.bsky.social @britishnatureguide.bsky.social #Teamdragonfly

Southern Migrant Hawker emerging from a few years ago at night. A few months planning went into these shots and all came together on a calm evening. @britishdragonflies.bsky.social #Teamdragonfly #UKwildlife

Mature and teneral male Scarce Blue-tailed Damselfly and a mating pair from @ Sandwich Bay, Kent this year. @britishdragonflies.bsky.social #Teamdragonfly #UKwildlife

A few Southern Emerald Damselfly seen at Cliffe Marshes, North Kent in early July. Nationally scarce and a stunner to study and photograph. @britishdragonflies.bsky.social @dragonflydamselfly.bsky.social #Teamdragonfly #UKwildlife

An Emperor Dragonfly emerging at night back in 2020. Always an amazing experience to witness first hand. A miracle unfolds. @britishdragonflies.bsky.social #Teamdragonfly #UKwildlife

It was pleasing back in June to catch up with a couple of male Red veined Darters @ Sandwich Bay. Such a smart Dragonfly and a nice contrast in colour against the sand. @britishdragonflies.bsky.social #Teamdragonfly #UKwildlife

Scarce Blue-tailed Damselfly had a good year @ Sandwich Bay with double figures being seen. Hopefully with the right habitat, they can continue to establish themselves. A single seen in West Kent was intriguing. @britishdragonflies.bsky.social #Teamdragonfly #UKwildlife

With colder temperatures here now, I expect my season is over. The Dainty Damselfly had another pleasing season and continues to do well at a few sites. A few to look back on in warmer weather. @britishdragonflies.bsky.social #Teamdragonfly #UKwildlife

Common Darter enjoying a meal at Gwent Wildlife Trust's Magor Marsh Nature Reserve on Sunday afternoon. There were quite a few active along a field boundary in the mid-afternoon sunshine. Some Migant Hawker also seen. (12.10.25) #odonata #dragonfly #ukwildlife #teamdragonfly

Any interesting record of a male SCARCE BLUE-TAILED DAMSELFLY seen on the 10th August at RSPB Higham Marshes by Mark Gurney. Perhaps there are other small colonies waiting to be found. @britishdragonflies.bsky.social @smallshire.bsky.social #Teamdragonfly

It was nice to find 3 Southern Migrant Hawker near Nethergong this afternoon. Seems to have been a poor year for them away from their Stronghold in the Cliffe area. Also concerned for Willow Emerald Damselfly. None seen! @britishdragonflies.bsky.social @smallshire.bsky.social #Teamdragonfly
