Another recent trip to the Whisby nature reserve near Lincoln. We had gone with the intention to explore part of the reserve that had previously been inaccessible on previous visits due to the construction of a foot bridge over a railway line (we did get to explore it, and were rewarded with plenty of midge bites for the effort).
I can't remember seeing Damselflies before. They are smaller than Dragonflies, and are capable of folding their wings long the length of their bodies but share the almost iridescent markings. Whisby was teeming with them. The air and water's edge were filed with breeding pairs. We must have seen hundreds of them.
