On the edge of Wassand Wood this morning I found at least 2 Willow Emerald damselflies. I've seen them before at the Mere, last year and earlier this year near the hide, but this time I managed some decent photos. They are stunningly beautiful creatures.
In the same area were several Common Darters and a few Migrant Hawkers.

Summer isn't quite over yet with 3 Red Admirals and 2 Speckled Wood butterflies enjoying the morning sun.

Over in first field I came across a Stonechat in the rough area by the fence. It was very active and flighty so I could get close for good photos, but these cropped images will do to record the sighting.

I'll finish this short post with a general shot of the Mere, framed by reeds on the near (south) side, trees on the far (north) side and by hawthorns to the east and willows to the west.
