Brilliant Emerald - D. Pinguey

An unidentified 'Emerald' species of dragonfly was reported to the volunteers in the Visitor Centre at Warnham LNR on Wednesday and luckily one of our regular visitors was around to go and check it out. Damian Pinguey was very pleased to give us a call to confirm it was our first Brilliant Emerald of the year on our sites. Damian also managed to get a stunning photo of this beautiful dragonfly. It is nationally scarce in Britain so it is excellent to confirm this species on site once more.

These stunning images of the Water Rail which is currently using the Woodpecker Hide for regular lunch stops were taken by Reserve regular Barry Clough. For most of us it would be a great days birding to catch a brief glimpse of such an elusive bird but photographers last week were able to fill there memory cards as this little chap strutted his stuff in front of the feeders. Well done to Barry for the amazing pictures - what a lucky chap!
