Since going macro I've seen lots of Damsels-this is the 1st Dragonfly. Not the best photo but is it the 4 spotted chaser?
Until a few weeks ago I'd never heard of Common Blues, Darters or Chasers-there's a lot to learn.|:S|

Looks good for Four-spotted Chaser to me. Possibly a male.

A Four-spot Chaser L.quadrimaculata.

My first Dragonfly was a 4 Spotted Chaser beginning of summer last year
Hope you have lots of Fun like I am with your Dragonflies Damselflies & Demoiselles

BTW Want to know more pick this book up "Field Giude to the Dragonflies & Damselflies
of Great Britain & Ireland" by Steve Brooks I found it the best book for best pics of the above.
