A couple more from today. Pretty sure the first is a Damsel Fly. Second may be a robber fly but I'm not sure. Please could someone confirm ID?

The first shot is a male damselfly but I can't work out the species. Could be a teneral blue-tailed.

Is it one of the daggerflies? Empididae family maybe.

Fly is a Dance fly, maybe Empis livida- the Robbers have short stabbing beaks.
