A stroll around the lake this afternoon looking for dragonflies!!!!

The park is very popular with locals and this afternoon there was a sponsored walk and a bike ride so it was even busier than usual according to the locals.

With being quite windy, again, it was hard to get near the damselflies and I only saw one species of dragonfly.


Male Black-tailed Skimmer, Orthetrum cancellatum

Blue-tailed Damselfly, Ischnura elegans, mating


mature male Blue-tailed Damselfly, the thorax stripes on the males change
colour as they mature, young males have green stripes
