Penlee Battery is a nature reserve lying on the coastal headland of Penlee Point on the Rame Peninsula, in southeast Cornwall, England. The site was formerly a fort, constructed from about 1890. It contained the largest gun of the Plymouth defences, a 13.5 inch BL, and was in active service through both World Wars.〔http://www.ecastles.co.uk/plymouthsc.html〕 Some gun emplacements still remain. It is famous among dragonfly enthusiasts as the site where Britain's first Green Darner dragonfly was found, in 1998.〔Pellow, Keith (1999a) An influx of Green Darner ''Anax junius'' (Drury) into Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly - The First European Records Atropos No. 6 pp. 3-7〕〔Pellow, Keith (1999b) Common Green Darner ''Anax junius'' (Drury) in Cornwall and Isles of Scilly - The first British and European Records Journal of the British Dragonfly Society Vol. 15 No. 1 pp. 21-22〕 ==External links== *(The reserve's page at the Cornwall Wildlife Trust website ) *(Victorian Forts data sheet ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Penlee Battery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
