A RARE dragonfly is spreading its wings at a north Cumbrian nature reserve.

An exciting conservation project to restore peat bogs by Cumbria Wildlife Trust has seen large numbers of the white-faced darter, a small, dark dragonfly with red or yellow markings and a distinctive white face recorded at Drumburgh Moss, on the Solway coast.

The insect is only found at a handful of areas in England.

The trust described the result as "fantastic" and said it was "really encouraging" with the numbers set to rise this season.
