We were delighted to have been asked by Emma Scotney, Ecologist for South West Lakes Trust, to carry out two dragonfly surveys at Crowdy Reservoir marsh, in return for a generous donation to our group that would cover the purchase of a complete set of new tools for our conservation work. Considering the location of Crowdy Reservoir right up on Bodmin Moor exposed to the harshest elements that Cornwall's weather can throw at it, the variety of habitat and sheer numbers of insects and other fauna was unexpected and the group had a busy and very interesting time exploring the site and recording all the species spotted. We have hopefully added dozens if not hundreds of entries to the County records as well as given the South West Lakes Trust a good base from which to monitor the diversity of the site in years to come.
