BRENEY COMMON AND CROFT PASCOE

WE FINALLY GOT BLACK DARTER AT BRENEY COMMON, 
IT TOOK THREE VISITS BUT WAS WELL WORTH IT.
MOST OF THE REST WERE TAKEN AT CROFT PASCOE 
PLANTATION WHICH IS USUALLY BRILLIANT FOR HAWKERS
BUT HAD A VERY POOR SHOWING WHEN WE WERE THERE.

GRAYLING

LIZARD sp.
SPOTTED FLYCATCHER
I CAN'T MAKE UP MY MIND ABOUT THE NEXT TWO.
ARE THEY COMMON OR MIGRANT?
THE COSTA APPEARS YELLOW, AS IN 
COMMON HAWKER BUT THE ABDOMEN DIPS 
AT THE END SO MAY BE MIGRANT HAWKER.

  4. Great set of shots, John - I'm very envious. I've never seen a Greyling in UK! My thoughts are Common Hawker - due mainly to the length of the antehumeral stripes. Best wishes to you and Sue - - - Richard

  5. Great series of images! Lovely the Black Darter. I have not seen one this year. Great shot of the emperor during eating a moth! And the Lizard is fantastic! Off course, the Flycatcher is adorable!
