Happy New Year

A quick post to remind everyone that The Darter still exists and as we have the first damselflies, hopefully to be followed by some dragons already emerging the blog is 'open for business'. I've taken the liberty of moving to the new image editor on Blogger, hopefully you're familiar with it, the main change being that when you upload your images you'll get a little bar once uploaded offering a range of sizes and position. The image above (taken yesterday) is at X-large and centred.

Feel free to invite other enhusiasts to contact me and be added as authors, we have space for up to 100! The more people posting the livelier and more interesting it will get.

Also it would be good to change the header images on a regular basis and feature the work of those of you that take dragon & damsel images so please send through anything you think is suitable for a header image. I have taken the new header image from Flickr and it is a Creative Commons Licenced image by Robbie, find his photostream here.

Good dragon hunting for 2010.

Common Hawker - Linton Pond In November

2009-11-04T22:27:00.005Z

Grabbed this shot this morning of what is a very late Common Hawker that was flying around the reedbed at Linton Pond this morning. How common are records this late in the year? Is it changing as a result of climate change?

Edit 05/02/2010: Comment left suggesting this is Migrant Hawker rather than Common Hawker.

The Importance of AHV's in Dragon & Damsel ID.

2009-08-15T09:31:00.006+01:00

Now that's a big title and its no doubt got you all puzzled but don't be fooled I'm just trying to dress up my ineptitude in Odonata ID so that it gets hidden under a little humour. As a birder the worst views you can get of a bird are AHV's (Arsehole Views) as the bird heads off into the sunset/distance/trees/bush (delete as appropriate). I find myself pressing the delete button on loads of AHV images coming out of my camera. I aim to capture good shots with head and bill and all the key ID features or interesting 'face on' shots.

So when it comes to dragons & damsels I've been doing the same thing turns out I should be doing exactly the opposite, AHV's are the holy grail of dragon & damsel photography.

Back at Summerhouse Lane yesterday I picked up several darters and a few damsels, I got home and sat down to pick over the ID and 'rarity fever' set in so below are second emergence Red -veined Darters and the first Northumberland record Scarce Emerald Damselfly.....

except of course they aren't. With a little help from county recorder Harry Eales my feet are back on planet earth and my new BBC career as world's foremost dragonfly expert on hold.

The devastating news that I'm focusing on the wrong end came in HE's opening sentence "I've run both your pictures through my Photoshop programme but I cannot see enough detail on the anal appendages of either specimen to give a considered opinion."

He added "In reality, photographs are not a good way of identifying, or rather separating species, which are very similar in shape and colour when the defining characteristics separating them are as small as slight differences in the genitalia."

So above are male & female Common Darter and probable Emerald Damselfly.

Druridge Pool Darters

2009-08-13T19:22:00.003+01:00

A pair of Darter moving around and resting in Alder between the hides at Druridge Pool this morning. I think they are Common Darter and that this may be an immature male. My doubt is due to the body shape as it does seem a little thicker toward the end segments which I believe is a characteristic of Ruddy Darter. Comments welcome.

A Question.

2009-08-07T18:21:00.003+01:00

Common Blue Damselfly

Walking through the small amount of woodland around the local church grounds and out into more open area I found a Dragonfly flying around the trees at a height of less than 5' most of the time. It didn't settle and I struggled to make it out apart from green in the abdomen. It soon vanished into the church wood. I'm assuming it to have been a Southern Hawker. It seemed to be the right habitat. Is anything else likely? About a quarter mile from Killingworth Lake.

Common Blue and Blue Tailed Damsels around at the moment and one Ruddy Darter seen near Killingworth Village. Cheers.

Return visit to this pond, gave good views of mating dragons and damsels.

With high numbers of Emeralds, Common blue and Blue tailed either in tandem or wheels or ovi positing.

The same can be said of the dragon's present. Both Ruddy and Common darter in wheels and ovipositing.

Only the Emperor 's (2 male 1 female) not mating.

2009-07-26T15:00:00.007+01:00

This pair of Common Hawkers were observed at Falstone Moss. They were a difficult subject: on the wing the dragonflies were rather too fast to photograph; when they settled, as in this picture, they were often amongst thick undergrowth. Other common hawkers were also mating on the wing in tandem position while flying over the pond and Moss.

Not the best image but I think this is a Common Hawker that was briefly patrolling one of the rides on the southern edge of Harwood Forest near Harwood Head Farm this morning. It settled high in Alder making for a difficult angle to see and photograph it.

Bank's Pond is just north of Dinnington and just south of Horton Grange (see map below, located above the figure 58).

Is easily accessible with a lay by close to the entrance. Please be careful to follow the paths or just stick to the area around the pond and don't just wander. Because there is a gun club to the north and army ranges to the west.

It's actually two ponds, one much smaller than the other, both are well stocked with aquatic plants With the larger one, suffering from extensive blanket weed.

Don't rush for your field guides, it's the name of a small hidden old fishing lake north west of Ashington. Having an hour spare this afternoon and the forecast showers staying clear I had a wander over to check it out. Interesting lake, man made I suspect, lots of logs and stones around the edges and a bit of emergent vegetation at one end. Good numbers of Common Blue Damselfly and a smaller number of Blue-tailed Damselfy. I was pleased to get some Common Darter perhaps 3-4 mostly on logs and stones at the north end of the lake offering some reasonable photo opportunities.

2009-07-21T23:12:00.004+01:00

I'm already knocked out the quality of Ian & Emma's images, nothing like setting the bar high is there. As well as posting sighting records using the post guidelines I also hope that this will be a place where no one feels daunted by the expertise on show, whether in ID or photography. I'll pin my colours to the mast, I am very new to Odonata and enjoying the learning curve but I have a huge amount to learn so whilst I hope that this site benefits the study and recording of Dragonflies & Damselflies in the region, I also hope it benefits individuals like me in Reception class so to speak.
So above we have a Damselfly, I think it is a female Blue-tailed Damselfly of the form infuscans obsoleta, if anyone would like to confirm this in the comments or correct the ID I would be grateful. The image was taken near Summerhouse Lane Pond the site in Northumberland of the recent Red-veined Darter influx that was the inspiration behind the creation of this weblog.

I'm always on the lookout for dragonflies in my area. It's been a very good year for them so far locally. My local patch being Cowpen Bewley Woodland Park, Billingham NZ4825 where so far this month I've seen several each of Emperor Dragonfly, Southern Hawker, Common Hawker, Brown Hawker, Broad-bodied Chaser, Four-spot Chaser and the odd Black-tailed Skimmer. A few more Common Darter are now starting to appear. Lots of damselflies around as well with Large Red, Common Blue, Blue-tailed, Azure and Emerald.
I'll post more complete entries for any new sightings - if the weather ever improves again!
