To celebrate National Dragonfly Week, Ian will guide this gentle stroll around our Onny Meadows. This is a good time to
see several of the larger, more spectacular dragonflies commonly found in Shropshire. Our ponds and the River Onny combined with insect-filled meadows provide a rich habitat for these hunting insects.

As well as delving into the pond, we’ll be going for a short guided walk, to search for dragonflies (and damselflies) on the wing. Plus a chance to listen underwater, using a hydrophone.
