Finding my first-ever Red-eyed damselflies, and at a previously unrecorded local site alongside the River Ely, was another of my most treasured wildlife moments of 2024 (Lifer: Red-eyed damselfly, 24 May). Unfortunately, I’m not going to be able to see them at that location again for at least the next three or four years as the walkway access has recently been closed to pedestrians while adjacent apartment blocks are being re-clad. The good news is that there is another site, along one of Cardiff’s inner city canals (More Red-eyed damsels, 26 June), where I should be able to find them again next summer.
