Willow Emerald Damselfly DSC_6468

Willow Emerald Damselfly / chalcolestes viridis. Strumpshaw Fen, Norfolk. 17/08/16.

 

Technically, this image leaves a lot to be desired I know!

Shown 'as seen', it serves as a record of a wonderful day spent with dragons and damsels at Strumpshaw Fen.

 

This is how I saw so many WED's there.

Perched unobtrusively in dappled shade, their spread wings twinkled when the sun caught them fleetingly. The pale creamy-brown wing spots showed very obviously and often gave their presence away.

I like the ethereal quality of this image. It is one that is firmly embedded in my memory.
