    I went on a fine afternoon walk yesterday,still too warm for Ruby Roo Who has not been too well in this Heatwave.
    Anyway she cannot wait till the Cooler Weather:49:
    Anyway I saw 3 species of Dragonflies. 2 Common Migrants,a female Common Darter And I remembered this cool Front Garden Pond I know and got a brilliant view of our biggest Dragonfly the Emperor.
    The last half an hour I spent watching 70 plus Swallows feeding and socialising before their departure to Southern Africa in the near future. I hoped in vain to see their arch enemy,The Hobby,but no luck.
    Then back home avoiding the worst of a heavy shower just in time with a delighted Ruby Roo waiting for her Tea,Riceees as she knows it :49:

    I had two lovely walks at the weekend, sat i was by the coast around Maugherow and Raghly, there was lots of bird life to see, on Sunday i went to the opposite side of the bay at Skreen, there was large flocks of Swallows there, the adults were flying low over the flat calm sea and feeding the youngsters sitting on the electricity wires, it was really a sight to see, i've never seen so many Swallows in the one place.

    A few more from the weekend, a bit heavy with Swallow pics but i.ve been trying for a long time to take a decent picture of a Swallow and these beauties were a sitting target. I hope they have a safe journey home and come back to us again next year.
