Damsels Delight

 On my walk yesterday I had the first sightings of the Damselfly this year.
Hopefully it will be a better year for sightings throughout. I certainly missed a few species last year.

Banded Demoiselle (M)

Large Red Damselfly
Red eyed Damselfly (Fem)

    It's good to see the damsels and dragons emerging now Roy...at last I can believe that summer is upon us!
    As always, a cracking set of images, especially the Banded Demoiselle .
    You might want to check out the last one again though, I'm pretty certain that it's a female Red-eyed Damselfly....[;o)

    Three nice captures Roy and I concur with the ID for the Emerald.

    Plenty of Demoiselles along the tow path today but they tended to stay hidden due to the wind!

    Great captures Roy, saw my first Blue Damseflies at the park on Saturday, they first emerge round the boggy patch at the park,away from the pond.
