Hi,

Back to more familiar ground... a pair of mating Blue-tailed damselflies. From this morning before the wind started to pick up.

All the best

Great behavioural image.

Very nice Phil. I really like the symmetry of the wings and the body angles

I went out this morning with some of these in mind, but was thwarted by the breeze again..

Hi Phil,

Very, very nice image! I've been trying for these but I'm failing miserably as it’s always too windy!

excellent Phil, always a challenge to get both damsels in focus particularly when it's breezy.

Perfect Phil

Superb parallel wings on the pair - never seen it that accurate before - nice job

One of the whiskers on the grass seed is bent otherwise it looks a bit special to me.

Wonderful shot.

You can go off people! I spent an hour lying in the mud today getting nowhere with these!

Well done.
