Emerald Damselfly (male)? - Teifi Marshes, Wales (1 Viewer)

Hi All

Brooks & Lewington suggest this is a very common dragonfly well I have never seen one before!

The thorax? was almost gold in colour but the semi-open wings and slim profile suggest a male Emerald Damselfly to me?

Thanks

Gareth

Yep, slightly blurry I am afraid. Wind blowing me and him around all over the place. Just auto-focused, held the button down and got 4 half decent pics out of 90 odd!

And thanks Ian for your confirmation.
