Blue Featherleg (or White-legged Damselfly if you see it in the UK) and Banded Demoiselle - I think the Turkish form is intermedia

What was throwing me with the demoiselle was the dark band running all the way to the wing tip on the male and the female having the dark band also, but with the white dot.

That could be it.

I have the guide for Britain and Ireland by Steve Brooks, illustrated by Lewington.
