More from Tom: In the west of Chobham common, next to Sunningdale Golf Course there are two small lakes that I visited last September for dragonflies (-click here-), so as it rises to peak summer, I returned to see what I could find. The total list was: beautiful damselfly, large red damselfly, common blue damselfly, emperor dragonfly, four-spotted chaser, black-tailed skimmer and common darter. Also, I saw two new species to me: small red damselfly and downy emerald, the latter of which decided to be incredibly uncooperative and didn't stop once for a decent photograph.
