Beautiful Demoiselle

I was rather surprised and delighted to see this damselfly locally at the week-end, flying low over a ditch.

The pictures were taken at the long end of my telescopic lens, not great but I wanted to post to show the beauty of these damselfly's. It's in the name!

Lovely photographs of the Beautiful Demoiselles Mike. Is the middle photograph a Banded Demoiselle?

Great photos, Mike.

Thank you all for your comments. I am no expert Anna although do peer into my field guide, I believe this is definately Beautiful and not Banded whoose wing colouration is more thumnail size rather than extending right down the wing. The first two pictures are of the same damselfly.
