First Damsel

I have been off the blog for a while settling in to my new home and garden but I'm ready to get back in business now! The sight of my first damselfly of the year set me going.












So here it is. A large red damselfly on April 13th! That seems really early this year. It must be down to the mild winter we had - lots of rain but not much frost here. My pond never froze over.

We seem to be in for a good spring for butterflies and other insects so I'll be trying to get some good pictures.

Where do I Walk?

Mainly around the National Trust land at Washington Common and Warren Hill in West Sussex. I also spend some time around my old Steyning walks and other interesting places in West Sussex.
