Beautiful Demoiselle Damselfly. (+PiP)

Taken last Friday afternoon near Southwick, Hampshire.

This aptly named Damselfly is found along many watercourses where I live in the south of England. It likes to sit on perches over fast flowing water. I was lucky enough to visit such a place with a friend who had local knowledge.

This one is a Male.......and you can find a photo of a Female in the PiP.

Best viewed large, I think.

The PiP is absolutely stunning Keith. Such wonderful details, especially its wings. It does help if you are near a small pond or something like that - these damselflies are all over the place.
