Status
.....Formerly a very rare Damselfly in Nottinghamshire,
but one which has increased very quickly and in all honesty, is probably
at most sites with suitable habitat. The first UK record came from
Suffolk in 2007 and it rapidly colonised south-eastern counties. It continues to expand it's range further
inland and reached Nottinghamshire as recently as 2020, when found at
Rampton on September 1st 2020 (Hursthouse, D.).
The favoured habitat is tree-lined ponds, or slow moving water bodies
such as canals. |
