Young Damsel IDs (1 Viewer)

Barred Wobbler

Well-known member
I was at a pond in Northumberland yesterday where there was a wealth of damsels and dragons (and unfortunately clegs, which were amazingly adept at finding any square millimetre of skin that I'd missed with the deet).

The damsels on show were emerald, azure, common blue and blue-tailed, but these two youngsters are confounding my limited identification skills. I'm inclining towards emerald for the second on jizz even though its wings are over the back.

Any help would be appreciated.
