The Group met on Sunday 27th September 2015 - a fine autumn day, in a dry spell when dragonflies and butterflies were still present on the riverside in good numbers in warm sheltered places.
A Common Darter dragonfly Sympetrum striolatum (f) warming up on a Bramble leaf, ready to
dart out when it spotted an insect - plenty to choose from at this time of the year.
Given reasonable weather, this species will be seen throughout October as well.
September was notable this year for the Group - we were awarded a certificate by
The Royal Horticultural Society
and
South & South East in Bloom
with a 2015 'It's your Neighbourhood Award' of Level 5 - Outstanding
- for work carried out during the past year along the river.
