CHESHIRE Wildlife Trust say they’re ‘delighted’ one of the first stages of an ambitious plan to reintroduce one of the UK’s rarest dragonflies back into the region has been completed.
It’s been 10 years since the white-faced darter dragonfly was last seen in the wild in Cheshire over the pools of Delamere Forest but now it’s set to make a return to the county.
The project team has announced in recent days that it has seen adult white-faced darters flying, and recorded evidence of a number of other individuals emerging from the water in a specially selected pool where they were translocated earlier in the summer.
