An opportunity for adults to have a go at dipping in the lake at Whisby to look for dragonfly nymphs, followed by a walk to find the adults.

If you have always wanted to have a go at pond dipping but thought it was just for kids then this is your chance to have a go. We will spend time dipping in the lake and identifying some of the freshwater creatures we catch then finish the evening with a stroll to watch spectacular dragonflies dancing in the air above and around our lakes.
