This would make it the only known population in the LNHS recording area (20 mile radius of St. Pauls).
Banded are regular on the Isle of Wight Pond + no doubt wanderers from the River Mole. This is a common species on suitable waterbodies in the area. |

Yes the damsels were all in the Bookham area as well, there were more but I couldnt get pics of them.
Nice to hear they are spreading. |

Hi Za
To tell a female Beautiful from a Banded Demoiselle you only have to glance at the wing colouration.Brownish in Beautiful and greenish in Banded Demoiselle.I of course agree with Aeshna's I.d.
