A new dragonfly for me - Micrathyria didyma
Back down to the Cul de Sac River Marsh this morning - it is a great little patch and presumably very under-watched. Surprise birds this morning were a flock of 12 black-bellied whistling-duck (scarce in this neck of the woods). The Eurasian spoonbill put on a good show too and the first yellow-crowned night-heron of the trip (an immature) flew by. Up to three osprey were in the area, at least two were of the migrant race.
Osprey on migration (?) - no doubt passing over the garden at home too at the moment
Could not ignore the small number of dragonflies present this morning and working through them produced two new species.
Brachymesia herbida - this might be the first record for the island of this otherwise widespread Neotropical species, certainly new for me!
