Summer day - almost

A wander around Wallington and Kirkharle brought some interesting views.

There were a lot of white butterfly about and for the first time this year for me a group photo

around the lake at Kirkharle were a large number of Common Darter lifting off the walkway as we walked forward

Cragside Dragons

A recent visit to Cragside lakes produced many Black and Common Darter dragonfly

Also came across this which when I zoomed in on the image, I suspect has passed onto the great pond margins in the sky. The wings are discoloured and the eyes are dull. I didnt want to get too close at the time. I believe this to be a Common Hawker
