A recent leisurely stroll along the towpath beside the River Wey Navigation on a warm sunny day provided the following wildlife encounters.
Common Darter.
Brown Hawker.
At one spot I watched at least half a dozen Migrant Hawkers in flight over the water and then managed to locate one individual resting overhead.
Just a few butterfly species were seen including a single Small Copper, several Green-veined Whites plus a Comma and Red Admirals.
Comma.
Red Admiral.

No brown hawkers for me this year, plenty of migrant hawkers though, and common darters. They are the two dominant dragons round here
