A Fresh Start...!
Another from my recent round of surveys at ponds around the country.. Like others it was taken whilst dodging the rain showers not far from Manchester..

I think it will be either a Common blue or a Blue tailed Damselfly since they were the most abundant, in-flight, at the time..

Hope all are well,

Kind regards,

Brett

Cracker Brett - can't fault it :toast:

Impossible to tell Common from Blue-tailed so early in the drying process, but I can see black on S8 and S9 which makes me wonder if it might be a female Common Blue.

Manchester???? you should have said matey - only 20 minutes south of the smoking hell-hole :wink:
