Emerald Damselfly (Top)


Banded Demoiselle (Male)



Ruddy Darter




Common Darter

All present in reasonable numbers especially the Blue Tailed & Common Blue Damselflies which can number several hundred in good weather,Emerald damselfly being the rarest on the pool with only a couple of sightings so far,care needs too be taken with the Common & the rarer Ruddy Darter with the subtle differences in colour & shape, best seperated by good views or by an experienced observer!!
