Had a bit of sun yesterday afternoon so I thought I'd try for some damsel flies.

Not too keen on the BG myself (bit busy) and perhaps a polariser might have been an idea.

Very breezy so lucky to keep the subject in focus - but I havn't a clue as to what damsel it is.

I really must get an insect ID book!

Thanks for looking

Hi Andy,

I believe you have a female Common Blue here, nice one, the bg isn't too bad.
