Emerald Damselfly is my guess but I wouldn't bet my house on it!

Yes, looks like female Emerald Damselfly.

Another old 'dragonfly' post that I couldn't resist opening - I can see why Emerald Damselfly has been suggested, especially as the wings are partialy spread in this 'terrible photograph'.
It is a female damselfly, and one of the species which would typically be a metallic green colour. It's not an Emerald Damselfly though.
From this photograph I don't think anyone could identify the species, but the very densely veined wings identify this as one of the Demoiselles (if I had to go for a species I would choose Banded Demoiselle because, in my experience, these tend to be more likely to have clear wings than Beautiful Demoiselle - then again a heathland habitat in Hampshire may well harbour a population of Beautiful Dem's...).
