It's time for some more #dragonfly pictures. Then again it's always a good time for that...
This is a Southern Migrant Hawker, seen at a well-known ditch in #CanveyIsland #Essex. The weather was ideal - hot enough for them to be flying, but cloudy enough that some of them settled. #insects #wildlife #wildlifephotography #odonata

Around 500 people in total lost their lives, including 300 on land in England when #CanveyIsland was flooded. The rest were lost at sea from ferry + fishing boats.
As a result the #ThamesBarrage + #HumberBarrage were built.

Day 13 of the 2022 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. Southern Migrant Hawker, aka Blue-eyed Hawker, arrived in the UK a few years ago and is spreading, but still mainly around the Thames Estuary. This one was in #CanveyIsland, #Essex, last July. #wildlife #insects #wildlifephotography

A big Thank You to everyone who took part in last week's fun poll here at Canvey Views.
The results are quite interesting to see. Half tempted to do a community taste test next time 😉
Personally though, I agree with the findings. Quite tasty (please don't hate me for it)
😆😋🍔🍟🥒

Very sad to hear about Wilko Johnson. Dr Feelgood was first band I ever saw live. What a sound! What a guitarist! Mesmerising. xx
