Thanks for the I.D.s Martin :t: Looking at my book now it seems obvious they are blue tailed. This is a new tick for me as I am starting right at the beginning. I did some research (the female is in the infuscans obsoleta form is that right?). Also I think i did see a female common blue as well. Is this ID right? see attached pic. I have circled what I thought was the key ID feature that circular blob on the S2.
(my list so far)
Emperor dragon, common blue damsel, blue tailed damsel, banded demoiselle, large red damsel, common darter.
I may also have seen an emerald damsel fly in scotland last year it was green and I think I would have noticed if it had black wings like a demoiselle but I won't put it on as I can't be sure. I reckon if I put some hours in I'll definitely improve on this modest list (and hopefully see a hobby:-O).
