More Meds and reluctant dragonflies

Heysham Obs
Red Nab
Awful heat haze & just 2 ad Meds noticed

Moths
Toadflax Pug the pick - a quite common moth here

Middleton IE
Nothing (temperature marginally too low & wind too strong) until two female dog 'walkers' threw a long rubber thing, like a refugee from Ann Summers, into the pond which the dogs enthusiastically retrieved:
Red-veined Darter - one shot off the edge to the opposite side of the pond
Black-tailed Skimmer - 2 shot off the edge to the opposite side of the pond

Elsewhere
Nothing as yet
