April marches on into may and on my walk at the end of last week I was delighted to find the first damselflies had emerged on the small pond adjacent to the Tarn. The first species is usually the Large Red damselfly and I saw 3 of these but also found a single Azure Damselfly, which we do not normally see until mid-late May.
I am semi-retired after a career in medical sciences. I now work from home doing independent research and consultancy amongst other things. One advantage of this is that I do have time to indulge my interests including birdwatching, natural history, steam trains and history particularly ancient history.
