I was in my wood yesterday collecting logs to store up for the oncoming winter, when, whilst partaking of some lunch I was dive bombed by a dragonfly. It was not an intentional attack of course, but the insect came quite close at high speed. As it flew up and down the woodland rise, it was briefly joined by another. The continuing mild weather means that there are still plenty of small flying insects around to feed these giants, but it still came as a surprise to find them around in mid-October.
There is a very good chestnut harvest this year and the ones I have found at the top of the wood are of a commercial size which has come a a very pleasant surprise.
