Hi all 
No idea what species this one is and can't find it in my reference books!  (Awful quality I'm afraid  - but it's the best I could do at the time!) 
Thanks,
Tracey

Another, much better shot of it, taken by Kent Yeti!

I'm certainly not an expert on these, Tracey, but I just wonder if that is a newly emerged damsel and hasn't yet developed it's correct colouration.
If so, it is definitely one for the real experts, but I suspect even they will have to think hard. |

Can you explain how you identified this one. Which features you used etc.. It would be most helpful for future referance.
Cheers David. |

I thought your photo was as good a mine Sunny. And we both know now what we saw!
