There would easily have been more but here the Custodian of our Countryside ...as Farmers appear to call themselves had cut a swathe of really rich Dragonfly Habitat in order to 'maintain' the footpath along the Glaze....now a pair of Coach and Horses can now safely race side by side on this 'footpath'....now on my June/July surveys I can look forward to NOT seeing the wonderful sweep of Meadowsweet that have been mown away...but I suppose I can happily admire the Giant Hogweed that got overlooked by this habitat cull....and we wonder why our insect population is crashing....
