Running was terrible, but #BushyPark a beauty as always

Iridescent #ShareMondays2026

The few remaining green areas of #BushyPark are around the #ponds and #streams, where I found this #WillowEmerald #Damselfly on a wilting #nettle. @theroyalparks.bsky.social @britishdragonflies.bsky.social #wildlife #nature #odonata @ldnwildlifetrust.bsky.social
A crisp macro photograph captures a vibrant metallic green damselfly resting on a hairy green nettle stem, set against a stark, solid dark grey background. This is a willow emerald damselfly found on the edges of a pond in Bushy Park’s woodland gardens. The damselfly is positioned diagonally in the upper-right quadrant of the frame, facing left as it grips the vertical stem. Its slender, elongated abdomen stretches downward and to the right, showing distinct segmentation with subtle yellow or pale rings. The head, thorax, and base of the abdomen gleam with a brilliant, iridescent emerald-green colour. Two large, bulbous compound eyes dominate its head. Four transparent, membranous wings are spread outwards, revealing an intricate, net-like vein structure. Tiny, amber-coloured spots (pterostigmata) are clearly visible near the tips of its wings. The stem of the nettle cuts vertically through the left-centre of the frame. It is heavily covered in fine, hair-like prickles. A few small, serrated green leaves branch out near the bottom-left corner, while dried, brownish old plant material clings to the stem closer to where the damselfly is perched.

New hairstyle for the rutting season… 🤔
Not sure the stag fashion industry is going to approve, but he’s definitely making a statement. 😂

A #CommonDarter #dragonfly perched on a #GiantCannaLily in #BushyPark. The only #flame like thing I want to see in park as the #drought continues 🔥 #nature #wildlife #odonata @theroyalparks.bsky.social @britishdragonflies.bsky.social @ldnwildlifetrust.bsky.social
This portrait aspect image shows a male common darter dragonfly (Sympetrum striolatum) resting on the tip of a closed floral bud of a giant canna lily (most likely the Tropicanna cultivar), against a warm, blurred background. The dragonfly is facing left in a near-profile view, resting its delicate legs on the pointed tip of the flower buds. It has a slender, reddish-orange abdomen, transparent wings with dark veins, and a robust thorax, characteristic of the darter family (Libellulidae), which is a mix of olive-green, yellow, and brownish tones. Its head is a warm reddish-brown with prominent, rounded compound eyes. Its long, slender abdomen extends horizontally to the right. Common darters frequently perch on prominent plant stems or the tips of vegetation to bask in the sun or watch for passing insect prey. The giant canna stalk is composed of tightly layered, fleshy, spear-shaped bracts or unopened flower buds that taper upward to a sharp point. These transition from deep dusty rose and purplish-pink at the base to lighter, muted green and yellow highlights near the upper edges. The background consists entirely of a smooth, painterly bokeh with no distinct shapes, of orange, pink, and yellow hues from the petals of an open canna lily flower, creating a dreamlike contrast that makes the sharp details of the dragonfly stand out.

Before The Re-Tern #ShareMondays2026

#CommonTerns gather on the #ponds at #BushyPark before the #AutumnMigration to #Africa. This is one of the #juveniles, noisily shouting to be fed by the adults. #nature #wildlife #birding @theroyalparks.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social @ldnwildlifetrust.bsky.social
The image shows a juvenile common tern perched on a weathered wooden post, reflecting onto a calm body of water. Heron Pond in Bushy Park, Teddington, provides a staging ground for young common terns to learn how to hunt. Every year the adults bring their fully fledged young here to master the arts of drinking and eating on the wing, before the birds set off on their long Autumn migration back to sub-Saharan Africa. The young tern shows a distinctive grey and brown patterned plumage with a dark cap on its head and a white forehead and chest. Its sharp, black and orange beak is slightly open as it calls to the adults, demanding to be fed. The orange legs and feet are shadowed, clutching the top of a narrow, mossy wooden stump. The pond has a mirror-like surface on a calm day, creating a clear, slightly rippled reflection of the bird and the post below. The background is a solid, muted blue-grey of the water which fills the frame. A second, shorter wooden post emerges from the water to the left, also casting a reflection. RSPB Common Tern Identification: These delightful silvery-grey and white birds have long tails which have earned them the nickname 'sea-swallow'. Their plumage is black grey and white, with reddish orange legs and a beak that is black, orange and red. They have a wingspan of 77-98cm, body length of 31-35cm and they weigh 90-150g. They have a graceful, floating flight and frequently hover over water before plunging down for fish. They often gather and breed in noisy groups. The Common Tern is the tern species most often found inland.
