(Originally scheduled for March 25) Returning to one of his favourite childhood haunts in the heartland of county Wicklow, Colin meets up with Angus Tyner who has spent the last fifteen years creating an extraordinary wildflower meadow and dragonfly pond in the corner of his garden. A beautiful summer’s day offers ideal conditions for spotting the delicate iridescent insects as they flutter about. Using a handy identification card from the Biodiversity Centre in Waterford, Colin discovers the near imperceptible differences between 21 dazzling species including the Common Blue and Azure Damselflies. The dragonflies are more than mere eye-candy. These are highly adept aerial hunters, swooping down to prey on unsuspecting insects. As the Four-Spotted Chaser males guard their territory fiercely, the females deposit fertilised eggs into the fresh water. For Colin, the highlight is spotting the gorgeous Emperor dragonfly – a recent arrival from the UK – which wasn’t around when Colin used to visit the area as a child. In 2002, thanks to Angus, this very pond became the first confirmed breeding site in Ireland. Angus’s 12- year old daughter Zoё has a special passion for the bumblebees that inhabit the nearby colourful asters and can easily distinguish between 18 different species of Bumble Bee including Bombus hortorum, Bombus lapidarius and everything in between. Trusting Zoё to pick the non-stinging males from the females, Colin holds one in his hand to show how gentle they are. This beautiful garden is bursting with native wild plants and was created without using fertiliser, herbicides or pesticides and just proves that if you create the right conditions, wildlife can come to you.
