| Downy Emerald...?
Hello All
Our first decent bit of warmth and sunshine for ages....
Had a lovely morning walk along the River Rother near Robertsbridge in East Sussex
Many Common Blue, Blue Tailed & Large Red plus a handful of White Legged Damselflies - also several Beautiful Demoiselles and one Banded Demoiselles... Saw my first ever Four Spotted Chaser and what I'm presuming to be Downy Emeralds...
Medium sized, noticeable angle between body and abdomen, fast, low down flying not stopping... the only one I could close to was a presumed female egg laying in a little section of reeds (see pictures)
There must have been approx 5 low down flying plus 2 x pairs in tandem. I also saw one perched on a willow tree but too far to get a photo
Would appreciate comments.... Many Thanks Tom |
