The weather today was absolutely glorious - flaming June at her best! So we decided to visit the nearby Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust Centre at Arundel, taking our Everyday Nature Spotter that came with our 30 Days Wild pack at the end of May.
I thought that we might see the Common Frog however I spotted something even better - an Azure Blue Damselfly. I've never seen one before and, at first, thought it must be a butterfly because it's wings are blue. Luckily the guide slowly reversed the boat to where the insect had landed and we were all able to discover its beauty.
We also came across some newly opened waterlilies:
and December was delighted to find some Lesser Water Boatmen (Corixa punctata) in a nearby raised pond:
All in all, a successful visit :)
