In my continued efforts to try to see all the regularly breeding Dragon/Damselflies and Butterflies in Hampshire this year I visited Hatchet Small Pond on 14th June hoping for Large Red-eyed Damselfly which soon showed itself in the windy and cool conditions but little else of note was seen.

On 15th June I then visited Parkhill Inclosure near to Brockenhurst where the main targets were Silver-washed Fritillary and White Admiral of which I saw both with around 15 of the former and two of the latter. Gold-ringed Dragonfly was also new for my 2025 dragonfly list.
