I managed to get a lift home tonight, and took the scenic route home from where I was dropped off, which takes me along a stretch of the River Kennett.

I was very pleased to see that the Sand Martins have returned and were investigating the pipes in the riverbank that they build their nests in. I also noticed that there were a few Mayflies about, so hopefully I’ll be able to get some photographs at the weekend.

I was very surprised this morning, as whilst walking through the churchyard on my way to the train station, I saw a Club-Tailed Dragonfly in the middle of the path.

I managed to pick it up without too much trouble, as it was still in the shade, and the temperature was rather low, and so left it clinging to the side of the church in the sunshine to warm up.

As per usual, Murphy’s law dictated that I didn’t have my camera with me.
