  • Photo: Azure damselflies

    There are loads of damselflies and dragonflies on show at The Lodge at the moment. Sunny days are best, though a bit of cloud cover does send them into the flowerbeds to conserve energy.

  • Photo: Hornet

    There seems to be a good number of hornets around at the moment. They come to the ponds to drink or can be seen around the flowerbeds hunting for prey (I saw one take out a hummingbird hawkmoth a few years ago!). Though they're massive and look scary, they're not actually aggressive, so watch...
