Ruddy darter, gwaell rudd

Found on a small nature reserve on the Saint Asaph business park, I first saw them in 2019, they remain a rarity in North Wales with very few records but they are slowly moving northwards and westwards. Distinguished from the common darter by the waisted blood red abdomen, all black legs and black line down the frons - seen in the second photo.
