My wife and I had a walk through Twizell Wood today and as it is late in the season for dragonflies it is probably the last time I will visit. We saw only two male Southern Hawkers but there were still quite a few Common Darters on the wing however I did not expect to see any butterflies but a late Comma showed briefly.

There was quite a stiff breeze and this Southern Hawker
seemed to prefer to hunker down in the grass rather than fly around.
Male Common Darter. I did not see any females.
This Comma butterfly landed briefly on a tree unfortunately
it was blown off by a gust of wind and I could not relocate it.
We saw three Curlew in a field on the way back to the
car and I managed to get a couple of them in flight as the flew off.
