Sunny Days - Dragons and Damsels continued...

Banded Demoiselle's copulating in the wheel position, this one's not in the Kama Sutra!


Red-Eyed Damselfly - Keep an eye out anywhere there is floating vegetation, look slightly front-heavy when flying over water


Damselfly Heaven - On the River near You

Loads of emergence and activity at the moment across all sections even those without evident water as newly emerged individuals 'teneral' seek refuge and maturity in the greenery after a year or so underwater. Added Red-eyed Damselfly and large Red Damselfly to the year list but despite attempts, the latter have eluded being photographed so far, as have the Four-spotted Chasers which can be bloody annoying at the best of times....In fact come to think of it, most of them are!! I ventured south of the site today, down to Saddington along the Grand Union there where there are literally Damselflies everywhere including loads of Large Red, a few White-legged amongst stacks of Azure etc the habitat looks the same, conditions, vegetation, water flow.. and it's not far so why the absence of similar numbers of Reds and White-legged's.. Dragons are strange things!
