Damselfly for ID please

[Dillybythesea]

This on a dogwalk today and I can't decide what it is and would be grateful to know. Thanks in hope!

Hi Dillybythesea.

It looks like a female Azure Damselfly.

Thanks Jason. Now that you say it I can see it does! And would you be very kind and confirm that these on the nature pond today are Blue-tailed - even though she hasn't got a blue-tail (yet? immature?)

Both are correctly identified (female Azure & pair of Blue-tailed).
The female Blue-tailed will have had a blue 'tail spot' when immature, but has lost it in its mature form.

Thanks Roy! I have an awful lot to learn about the different stages and colourings, but am keeping notes, which I hope to absorb!
