WWT Slimbridge sightings 22 May 2007

Male Beautiful Demoiselle in the Stall House Ground, WWT Slimbridge 22 May 2007 M.J.McGill

22 May 2007 A flock of 13 Black-tailed Godwit were on the South Lake, the Grasshopper Warbler was reeling and showing at Middle Point, 2 Sanderling, 15 Ringed Plover and 30 Dunlin were on the estuary. I am looking into wether we have ever recorded Beautiful Demoiselle on the reserve before, I have never seen one in my 20 years but they may have been seen previously, it may be a reserve first. If you can click on the image to increase the size, it shows an electric blue line along the edge of the wing.
