Today Jayne and I visited the Fenn's, Whixall and Bettisfield Mosses in Shropshire. We went in search of two insects, the Large Heath butterfly and the White-faced Darter dragonfly.
Unfortunately, we didn't see the former species (perhaps a little early in the season??), but we did have fantastic views of the darter, including a pair "in tandem".
