emperor indeed

Just a quick update and apologies to Dave there was indeed an emperor dragonfly at the new pond. It was assertively patrolling up and down as is the habit of this species.  don't think it will have been locally bred because they take couple of years to mature.
It is about time we worked out a name for this pond (morgans folly and the pathetic puddle are past their sell by dates) it also needs a serious clean up and not just from the litter.
otherwise a few small skipper on the barleyfield and single large at turners. worth looking closely at the little skippers because Essex skippers were present at poolhall.
Finally the amount of Japanese knotweed and himalayan balsam is a worry anyone any ideas on eradication?
