WINDMILL FARM.

On Friday we decided to go to the area around Goonhilly, what a disappointment. 
The 2 pools on the moor just past Goonhilly NR, which are normally swarming with 
Dragonflies had been dredged and drained.
Was it really necessary, surely it could have waited until the winter. 
We moved on to Windmill Farm and although the big pool was drying up we did see
 lots of wildlife. What a great place.
