Garganey at Deeping Lakes, 1st June

A pair of Garganey were reported on the East Pit at Deeping Lakes yesterday, so I went along this morning to see if they were still there. I only saw one bird, the male, which was very visible in the corner of the pit nearest the road.


A remarkable number of Mute Swans are on The Lake at the moment including a few family parties with young cygnets. There has been a huge hatch of Azure Damselfly (Coenagrion puella) and they were everywhere in the vegetation. I also saw a female Banded Demoiselle (Calopteryx splendens) and one bigger dragonfly I didn't get a good look at.

Trip: 26 miles, 5kWh
