Grazie mille per i gentili commenti.

Great fun following one of these beauties around, waiting for it to land for long enough to get the shot......

These are a distinctive feature of the sandstone geology at Garden of the Gods State Park. The dark bands hold concentrations of iron, which make those area harder and less susceptible to erosion.

Scientific name: Calopterx splendens.

 

The Banded demoiselle is one of the largest damselflies in the UK. It can usually be found flitting around vegetation of slow running streams, rivers, canals and ponds with muddy bottoms. The larvae live underwater amongst roots and vegetation for around two years until its emergence. They are quite vulnerable to water polution so their presence is usually a good indicator of water quality. Info: TVERC.

Banded Demoiselle (Calopteryx splendens) male

The Banded Demoiselle or Calopteryx splendens is probably my favourite damselfly because I love the colouring. This male is the first Banded Demoiselle I have seen this year. I hope that there will be more in a few weeks. Usually they are quite common at the local nature reserve.

There is a fruiting fig tree at Eco Lake and it attracts all the birds from the vicinity to congregate there especially for their morning feed. Others have spotted a pair of Flameback woody.

There are Starlings, Green pigeon, Black Nape Oriel etc.

Was lucky this Banded Woody flew down from way up the tree to eye level around 15 ft away. Pure luck.

 

I love both my Sony & Oly system. Both have their strengths and weakness and have finally decided that I am keeping both. So I have them in the boot of the car.

 

Thank you my friends for popping by.

I really appreciate your visits, comments & favourites.

Wishing all my Flickr friends a Happy Weekend

 

Thank you
