Willow Emerald Damselfly DSC_6095
Willow Emerald Damselfly / chalcolestes viridis. Strumpshaw Fen, Norfolk. 15/08/16.
I was absolutely thrilled to get my first sightings of WED's this month at Strumpshaw. They really are gorgeous and so confiding, particularly the territorial males.
Once I had found two hot-spots to observe and photograph them in, I made repeated visits. Fascinating to watch their activities unfolding in the dappled light created by branches overhanging still water.
