Another hard to distinguish species of Damselfly as the small electric blues are so similar. It would be nice if these were Southern Damsels (Coenagrion mercuriale) - which are rare and therefore protected, however with the appreciated help of Sam we've agreed it's the Azure Damsel (Coenagrion puella).

 

Unless any experts out there know different!
