Insect Life in Church Lane
Len Mead reports:
Over the past week we have had 6 Brimstones in the garden at one time, feeding on Zinnias. We have also had several types of dragonfly including 8 Common Sympetrum, several of whom were mating and depositing eggs in our pond, and a Golden-ringed dragonfly which was also depositing eggs in the pond..
