18th August 2024 - a female Common Darter was seen in Lagden's Grove on Granta Park, well away from water and perching on flower stems and leaves, occasionally darting out to catch a passing insect. Near the lake, a more uncommon species, an Emerald Damselfly - this group of damselflies being unusual in that they hold their wings diagonally to the body when resting, rather than alongside the body as is more usual for damselflies.
