Monday 25th June

Well the weather finally warmed up. Following on from yesterday, the Kestrel was hovering 50 mt from where we saw it, but today it caught a vole/mouse, see shots, the one showing it transferring the catch is unfortunately slightly blurred.
In the afternoon found some Four Spots and also Black-tailed Skimmers, while watching them, a damselfly on the water caught my eye, it swam across the surface until it reached some blades of grass, it then turned upside down and began to crawl down the blade under the water until it reached the bottom about 100 mm and began laying eggs. I have never seen this before, it remained under all the time and it was still there when i left.
