I am sick to get a damselfly shot...I have only seen one so far and it flew by at 99mph!...My brother lives in Brighton maybe I could stake out your garden Brian!

if you keep on picking it, it will never heal..

Nice close ups; few adults around my patch but seem to be avoiding the pond where they emerged so far. Gets more interesting when they start egg laying but wonder if I've let my pond get a bit overgrown.

Thanks. Seen a few egg- laying now.
I think overgrown is ok as long you don't have something like duck weed all over the surface.

Two pairs egg laying today so all okay after all despite quite a bit of duckweed.
