Dragonfly (species tbc)
Species tbc
On the rim of one of the pond's planting pots: what looks like a dragonfly part-way out, wings still short and pale. Kirsty's photo. Neither of us knows what it is, so the identification is provisional.
There is also something small and green on the water, top left. Also tbc: it stays on this entry until it has a name, then gets its own.
