It's been a very strange year. In May I went to Spain with Pete; It poured with rain everyday and we saw virtually nothing.

With all the rain in May I thought that perhaps the Laguna de la Zaida would be flooded; no chance (see above). In Almeria in May I achieved some success by finding Zygonyx torridus at a new site in the Province (first record). Incessant strong winds seemed to dominate the weather for much of the summer but on my last trip to Almeria the conditions stilled and I had some wonderful days full of dragonflies
