Some recent dragonfly news now that later-season species are appearing. Firstly, a female Southern Migrant Hawker Aeshna affinis was photographed on the dunes near Ainsdale, Lancashire, on 10 July (C. Storey). Are there others about?? It’s also just surfaced that a Willow Emerald Damselfly Chalcolestes viridis was photographed at Ely, Cambridgeshire, last autumn (W. Mansfield) - the first confirmed record for the county.
