Autumn coming to Wraysbury Lakes

Hips Haws Berries – autumn is definitely on the way now
Himalayan Balsam (Policeman’s Helmet) – either a delight or a scourge, depending on point of view, but still, an elegant plant
Alfalfa – the king of forage plants, which is what its name means in Arabic (apparently)
Southern Hawker, a magnificent dragonfly of late summer and autumn. Banded Demoiselles and Common Blue Damselflies were still flying, too
