Join us on a walk around Burton Park and Duncton. This is a fabulous walk especially in early summer, brought alive with birdsong, dragonflies and damselflies.
Due to its cinematic nature, this video is best watched on a large screen, such as a TV, to fully appreciate the visual detail and immersive aural experience we try to convey.

We started our walk at the Burton Park nature reserve, and followed a route that never took us far from either Burton Mill pond or Chingford pond. The attraction of these areas at this time of year is the damselflies and dragonflies which were out in abundance. Along lanes, through fields and woodland the beautiful birdsong was, at times, like an orchestra.

Another wonderful video with stunning scenery and lots of interesting wildlife, all expertly filmed as always. I often drove past Burton Mill in long-ago days, and always had to stop and admire the views, no matter how much in a hurry I might be. It's great to know that things stay very much the same more than 50 years later.

Thank you kindly, Jim. Burton Mill appears to be one of only a few places in W Sussex that has remained unchanged. Long may it continue, as it allows for greater wildlife diversity.

Another superbly crafted video. I do look forward to seeing them. I understand why you labelled it ‘dragons & damsels’ haha!’They are fascinating creatures! I am totally ignorant on the subject. I do remember being on the Thames at Abingdon & seeing hordes of them there! What I do notice is directly a neighbour instals a water feature suddenly out of nowhere we see ( I think) dragonflies in our garden! Very often large brown ones. At the moment, all ponds etc have been removed so no flying visitors but it is a glorious sight when they are around! Your close-up photography is impressive- thanks!

Thank you for your kind comments, Diana. The dragonflies and damselflies are the final, short-lived stage. The larvae of some species will spend up to a year under water before emerging. They are such beautiful creatures, especially the demoiselles in flight. Pleased you enjoyed it.
