Thames Water invites you to join us at our Farmoor Reservoir site to celebrate National Dragonflies Week. The walk will be led by our Nature Reserve Warden, Peter Philp, and we will look at the ponds by the Countryside Walk as well as around our Nature Reserves.
Please don’t forget to book (click on the ‘Reserve a spot’ button)
(Don't forget to cancel, if you can no longer attend, so someone else can take your place).
If the weather is fine we should see adult Damselflies as well as Dragonflies. These may include Banded Demoiselles near the Thames, Chasers over pomds and Common Blue Damselflies in the vegetaion by the ponds. If the weather is less kind, we will try to find the exuvia cast be the adults as they emerge from the water.
Accessibility & risks: many of the paths are surfaced or firm. However, some areas may be uneven or muddy. Please dress appropriately for the habitat and weather. Bring binoculars, if you have them, so we can have a good look at some of the wildlife we find.
Meet in the Main Car Park at Farmoor Reservoir, Cumnor Road, Farmoor. We will first visit the ponds by the Countryside Walk and then drive around the reservoir to the Nature Reserves. (Please note that you are not normally allowed to drive around the reservoir).
