Seeing the Changes 280

At a very hot NWCW, the Yellow iris (Iris pseudacorus) was prominent and the Southern marsh orchid (Dactylorhiza praetermissa) had made an early appearance. There was also lots of Odonata activity, with Aeshna cyanea and the 4-spotted chaser (Libella quadrimaculata) flitting about. The small but frisky Common blue damselflies (Enallagma cyathigerum) had started to mate.
