I look every morning at the progress of hatching Dragonflies coming out of our pond. To my amazement so far over a period of a week, we have to date 45+ dragonflies seen hatching and thats only when we have been there to see it happen. We are expecting more, but cant explain why.

A little over excited about the first damselfly to emerge from the #GwylltHollow pond !!!! British Dragonfly Society
