As Ken has suggested Dragons are more "dozy" Late August and September and maybe the rest of the wildlife there will follow suit.
How about going for a date in September?
The only Weekend we are not available is the 3/4th of September so may I suggest Saturday 10th or Sunday 11th and start from there?

Cheers Ken.
Will start a thread for Foxglove Covert.

Hi and welcome.

Good idea Neil.
Need Ken to confirm when the Dragonflies are about.
Could become the Dragonfly Summer Meet.:

Thank you Alan you’re so kind.
Maybe wait and see where majority would prefer, but not a problem to organise it.
Had a look last Saturday and once your enlisted, you’re in!!
Very nice Reserve, very quiet and peaceful other than the odd rife shot, but not much about while we were there, people or wildlife but good possibilities and the hides are very good particularly the tree top hides, never had chance to see the other one “Wetland Hide” as it was locked by mistake. Good place to walk around and explore.
Maybe pick a time of year for Ken when the Dragon flies are about as Barrie has mentioned.
Some Sundays they carry out bird ringing which may be of interest.
On the down side there is no cafe/restaurant so you would have to take your own.

Welcome to the forum.

Certainly looks interesting Graham.
First two paragraphs from "The Telegraph" article on Foxglove Covert.
"Foxglove Covert must be the only nature reserve in Britain you enter past armed guards, signs warning of attack dogs and coils of razor wire.
Improbably, its 94 acres of woods, wetland and meadow lie beside Europe's largest military base, Catterick Garrison in North Yorkshire, home to an entire army brigade of 7,500 regular soldiers, plus 1,900 recruits and 2,000 civilian workers."

Whilst talking to someone at Low Barns they mentioned Foxglove Covert Local Nature Reserve at Catterick Garrison.
Maybe worth a look.
Tin hats advisable!!!
