And so it starts…

…my miss-identification/ none-identification season i.e. the Dragonfly & Damselfly season. I get them wrong every year even when I use the Britain’s Dragonflies book. It has already started this year. All of the images are from Kibblesworth from well over a week ago except for the last one which is from closer to home.

  1. Your mystery damsel is a very immature male azure, if you zoom in you can make out a distinction between the black markings and the slightly paler colouring which will become blue, otherwise 10 out of 10 Ron, a good start :-)
