New record for Millennium Country Park
Small red-eyed damselfly (image D Morris)
The 11th of August saw the first “recorded ” sighting of the small red-eyed damselfly, (Erythomma viridulum) in the Millennium Country Park. One of the commoner species in Europe, it only reached Britain eleven years ago. Widely established in the south-east it is slowly spreading northwards. If they become established in the Wetlands you can expect to see them between July and September.
If you are lucky enough to spot one, please enter your confirmed sightings in the record book in the Forest Centre’s reception.
