As you would expect at this time of year the bird life on the old patch at the moment is fairly non-existent apart from the usual breeding species, so I've been enjoying a few lazy weekends taking in the Cricket World Cup, FIFA Women's Football World Cup (both of which have been excellent viewing) and also a little bit of local Mountain Biking (more of that another time). However on the visits I have made to Wanstead my focus has been less birds and more Odonata, nothing out of the ordinary to report (although I did dip a locally rare
Scarce Chaser) just an enjoyable few hours locating, photographing and ID'ing these magnificent flying beasts.
