Around the pond things have really begun to stir. Common newts make regular appearances, though we've yet to see a male. The big hawker dragonfly larvae are also on the move and one of these is absolutely huge! I've a feeling this will be their year to emerge. Already making that magical transformation are the damselflies and broad-bodied chaser larvae. The feeling of privilege we get from witnessing them leave their skins and unfurl their new wings never lessens.
