It was perfect plotting weather this morning which I spent digging and weeding on the allotment. There were plenty of bees, birds, butterflies and ladybirds to be seen in the warm sunshine.
When I stopped for a break to eat a just picked deliciously juicy apple that my plot neighbour Joe had given me I wondered across to another part of the site.
Over there is a water filled trench running almost the length of one plot. I strolled along the adjacent path looking for Backswimmers and Water Boatmen but couldn't see any.
However there were plenty of Common Darters hovering and sky dancing. When I stood still and watched they were literally at arms length away.
