Dragonfly emerging on a reed, Wightwiick Manor

Dragonfly emerging on a reed, Wightwiick Manor

Back in 2011, Wightwick Manor held some sort of open day on a June weekend (National Trust properties usually have them one weekend in September during World Heritage week). We took advantage to have a good look around the grounds.

As we walked around the pond, this dragonfly was climbing a leaf as it emerged from its aquatic juvenile stage, almost ready to take to the wing as an adult.
