June carried on its warm and sunny weather and lots of wildlife came out to enjoy it.

Down by the Mere I counted 5 Emporer dragonflies hawking for insects. My quest to get a decent in-flight shot of these lovely creatures continues.

My first Black-tailed Skimmer of the year appeared too:

Lots of hirundines were feeding over the water, Sand Martins primarily, and they rested every now and then on the fence.

Ringlet butterflies are flying along with Meadow Browns and lots of Common Blue Damselflies.

Just walking along the footpaths through the meadows is a joy at this
time of year with lots of birds singing; butterflies, damselflies and
dragonflies providing splashes of colour; mammals from hares to otters
to search for. With more species still to come!
