Lovely photos catsmother.
Brilliant pictures thecatsmother! The same visited me this week. first a red, then blue, my pictures aren't as good though.
We had our first blue damsel fly at our pond today, as well as the usual red ones. Then we had two different types of dragonfly as well

We have the same two colours together here in West Flanders - I wonder if they're opposite sexes of the same species?
Didn't take any Nut - just sat transfixed
One was a female Broad-bodied Chaser, the other didn't stay around long enough to identify.

They have to stop and stay still for some time for me to get a pic
