Spotted my first d'fly of the season, a single Green Darner patrolling the ponds at Smythe Park.

I had Rusty Snaketails at Erindale Park, Mississauga last year. I'm not totally sure whether I'll be around in June, but contact me if you want to go look for them! I've also had Unicorn Clubtail, Eastern Amberwing, "Red" Saddlebags, Rainbow, Taiga and Stream Bluet here among other stuff.

I've just had one green darner so far, but it really won't be long until the first forktails are out.

Thanks Reuven, I'd like to take you up on that offer!
I'd like to expand my dragonfly photo catalogue;

Just contact me in June (although all the snaketails I've seen except one teneral have been on rocks in the middle of the river)
