Male emerald damselfly, Baggeridge, yesterday

Male emerald damselfly resting on vegetation by a small pool in Baggeridge Country Park yesterday. There were two or three of these males by the pool, and seemed to be harassed often by male common blue damselflies, which were present in somewhat larger numbers.

A pair of mating damselflies which kept perching on vegetation some yards away were probably also emeralds, but flew too far from the path before I could get a clear view.

I saw a female emerald damselfly on a visit to the same site in the middle of June.
