Dragonflies

Ten species of dragonfly and damselfly were recorded. This is a respectable number for North Yorkshire, but it possible that two or three others occur. Several dragonflies are expanding their range northwards: the Ruddy Darter and Emperor were rare in Yorkshire a few years ago but are now becoming increasingly widespread
