Hi Rachel,
This news came to me second-hand and so I'm sorry that I don't have the photos and don't know who has.
Cheers for now.
Geoff.

Having just got from a holiday to find that a new species for Cheshire has just appeared, I had better get the Cheshire Odonata website updated. I have some good images that Dennis Swaby has sent to me.
The appearance of this species is really good news. It is the species that I most expected to become established next in the county, but I thought it might take a few more years before it came this far up the west side of Britain. Andrew Goodwin is to be congratulated for having spotted these insects at Warmingham Flash.

Please can you point me to the relevant Facebook page as it certainly isn't on the Record Cheshire one.
If you want images of the Cheshire insects you are welcome to use those on the Cheshire Odonata website. http://brocross.com/dfly/news/2015/sight.htm.
Cheers,

Hi David,
The Record Cheshire Facebook page isn't very often updated these days. We started a page called "Cheshire Species Spotlight" a while back to promote and share wildlife sightings and recording across Cheshire.
Here's the link: https://www.facebook.com/SpeciesSpotlight.
And thanks for the link to the Odonata site !
