Sorry about poor quality. I was in the field with only the business pro camera rather than my own bridge camera that is actually much better for this animals.

However, I think there's something to go on here, so I'm taking a punt. Any ideas welcome.

Thanks,

Guy

I think the left-hand one is the skimmer, Orthetrum stemnale- an immature male.

Agree with aeshna5 O.stemmale young male. The one in the other pic appears to be a female Orthetrum but I might not even have the genus correct!
