Took two pictures today that I liked luckily was the male and the female of the same species.
Was looking for the species called Beautiful Demoiselle but didn't find them this year but did see these banded pair which are pretty in their own right I think.
Blue is the male when the wings open they are stunning bright electric blue but needless to say this one seemed to want to just sit and bask in the sun! The female is the lovely emerald green colouration. Apparently quite common in Wales but up this end of the country a bit thin on the ground so to speak.
