A pair of common blue damselflies (the female is actually green) resting on a reedmace leaf as they mate. Another male was flying by at the time.

Swan and cygnets by boating lake island
Adult swan and six cygnets swimming near the island in West Park’s boating lake recently.
The heron from yesterday’s post was on watch nearby – the cygnets were just the right size to make a tasty breakfast for the heron. But all the cygnets were still thriving when I last checked, several days after these pictures were taken.
