Bosherston Lakes and Stackpole Warren, Pembrokeshire

We had a fabulous day at Bosherston Lakes and Stackpole Warren. We arrived at Bosherston Lake at 6am and were delighted to see an Otter swimming across one of the lakes. We also saw Peregrine, Buzzard and Raven.

Migrant Hawker and Red-veined Darter. Bosherston Lakes is a SSSI partly on account of its dragonfly species, and this afternoon we saw plenty of Migrant Hawkers, Common Darters and Common Blue Damselflies.
