SATURDAY 9th June 2012: Dragonfly Day, Rodley Nature Reserve, Rodley, Leeds,

A group of us went to Rodley Nature Reserve today for their Dragonfly open day. There were plenty of great hands on nature experiences to be had. Like examing the moths caught in the moth trap overnight, pond dipping and botany walk. We had chance to explore the site and walk round the dragonfly ponds, the riverside and bird hides. The weather was not on our side and so there were limited numbers of dragonflies but there was plenty of close encounters with nature to make the day well worth attending.
