Another trip to Ham Walls, looking for Dragonflies mainly.
A juvenile Whitethroat, showed well and called near the hides and car park. At the hides i noticed a Gull on the raft, it looks like a Med Gull, i thought. A closer look from the nearer hide, and it was a summer plunged Mediterranean Gull. A very unusual sight for here, there are never many Gulls here, let alone Med Gull.

Not much excitement after that, so we went off to Priddy pools. A male Downy Emerald landed in the grass for photos. Very nice too. Then i found a female too, sadly when i got closer, she was recently dead! I placed her in position for some photos below. Sadly the green eyes do not last, and go brown after death.
