Coffee and scone in the Coach House at Beamish with some friends then a walk around the grounds. The pond held a nice surprise in the form of a distant male Broad-bodied Chaser. A few other water bourn insects were also on the pond. Unfortunately, I didn’t manage to get any images of the Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary butterflies at Black Plantation as not one of them would settle. I did however get a Golden-ringed Dragonfly (thanks Brian for the info).
