Silvermere
Wisley Airfield and Bolder Mere
Wisley Airfield is a former wartime airfield located alongside the A3 in the Parish of Ockham near Wisley. Bolder Mere is a typical Surrey woodland lake with a fabulous wetland clearing along the southern edge where you may well spot dragonflies and damselflies.
Wisley Common
Wisley Common is managed by the Surrey Wildlife Trust (SWT). Along with Ockham common/Chatley Heath on the other side of the A3, it is a nationally important site for dragonflies and damselflies, with twenty species recorded. It also attracts many rare birds, including the hobby, which is one of the few creatures that can actually catch dragonflies. In the summer, the heath is awash with purple heather.
