New Species - Blue-tailed Damselfly


It's been a good month for the dragonfly order with several new species recorded. This is mostly for damselflies (although I have a new dragonfly as well - I am just trying to confirm it from my dodgy photographs). The latest 'recruit' is the Blue-tailed Damselfly and there have been quite a few around in the last couple of days. They are a very common species so it is not a surprising discovery. There are also a lot of Azure Damselflies around. I also got a glimpse of a Broad-bodied Chaser dragonfly yesterday, the first sighting of this year.
