I had at least 3 male and a female at Dark Lane Pond, Barrow (SE 361035). This included a mating pair which was later seen ovipositing.
At least 5 males were then observed on the Worsbrough Canal. There are more suitable ponds to be checked in the area so numbers are likely to be much higher.
Plenty of other dragonfly species present at Dark Lane Pond. Other highlights were willow tit and grass snake.
Gary Lee has also had a Dark Green Fritillary at Langsett today.

Well done Carl, a great find.
New to the Barnsley area to the best of my knowledge.
Cheers John, I know there were a couple of Red-eyed Damselflies reported from Old Moor either last year or the year before. I wonder whether they were small Red-eyed also???
I've seen Red-Eyed a few times this year at Old Moor. Not particularly good views but good enough to discount Small Red-Eyed.
One I saw in 2016 also Red-Eyed but it's certainly worth checking for
this new arrival from now on.
Thanks for the info John .... Hopefully Southern migrant hawker next ....
