Jennifer arranged an outing to Wicken Fen on Saturday
27 June, primarily to see the dragonflies and damselflies for which the Fen is
renowned. We were blessed with a lovely June morning, just the right weather
for these insects. Ten members and two grandchildren came.
We were fortunate that an expert from the
British Dragonfly Society talked to us at the start about the life cycle of
dragonflies and how to differentiate between some of the blue damselflies.
Then we walked round the Fen on the boardwalk
and saw many dragonflies and damselflies at close quarters in their exquisite
colours.
