          Better than describing our normal damsels, here are a couple - literally!!

          I know, the stick is in focus, not the damsels, but I love the moving wings! IMG_5109.JPG

            @Sian in Belgium When we were up in Snowdonia the other week we visited a nature reserve in Gwaith and there was a lovely pool with blue damselflies that were pairing up which we were trying to take photos of when a Palmated newt came up to the surface and grabbed one of these beautiful damselflies and was trying to drag it underwater but it was clinging on for dear life:sad:

            Thanks for sharing them with us:smile:

                        I now have spotted five blackbird nests in the garden. The cute things don't seem to be bothered when I'm wandering near them.

                        This little one was trying to get there and the big one kept moving in the way. I don't think it was deliberate as it almost certainly didn't know the little one was there.
