On the stock pool, Bickershaw

Photo: Small red-eyed damselfly.

I spent much of the afternoon at the stock pool at Bickershaw today and recorded a respectable 14 species, including at least 50 small red-eyed damselflies where just yesterday I didn't see any. Also here today at least two Norfolk hawkers.


This is a red-eyed damselfly, note the subtle differences between it and the small red-eyed above, e.g. this damselfly has no antehumeral stripes and compare the extent of the blue at the tip of the tail.
