Extremely difficult to photograph these two!   |

Digiscoping I presume? It's great you managed to see them. |

So what's the latest "gen" on this animal?
It does appear to be successfully breeding now, how long 'til we get it in the Midlands? That will be a good crowd puller for a WAB meet?

No, not at all, First shot was using Nikon D200 with Nikon 105mm 2.8 VR macro, and 2nd shot was using Nikon D300 with Nikon 600mm f4 VR with 1.7 teleconverter. In extremely harsh light or too distant! unfortunately both shots are quite heavily cropped. |

I'm afraid you've blinded me with technology as I'm not really a photographer- just take basic shots with my compact- sometimes strike lucky though!
I'm sure it'll mean a lot to some of our very capable photographers on here though. Well done anyway on getting the images! |

Not being good at identification I had named a photograph taken by my wife in June at Strumpshaw Fen as an emerald damselfly but someone pointed out that it was in fact a Willow Emerald whose photograph had been taken some three months before the Staverton sighting.
This is what I think is the Willow Emerald having been shown the error of my first identification. |

Hi Brian,
apologies for delay in replying, but my damselfly i.d. skills on Emeralds are probably worse than yours, however this does look like a Willow Emerald as you point out, I am sure Brian and I would be happy to receive confirmation. Very nice photo by the way.
Regards to H.O. |

Regards to H.O. | Please do not worry about the error as you cannot be as bad as I am at identification despite every effort to get it right.
H.O. appreciates your coment.
Thanks.
Brian. | | |
