    Pleased to have noted my earliest Damselfly along the Salwarpe this afternoon. My initial I.D. to J.T.B. of Banded D. was wrong after taking a look at the record photo. Should have been reported as female Beautiful Demoiselle.

    On a visit earlier in the week to the reserve came across this deep coloured female "rufescens" form of Blue-tailed Damselfly.Have seen only one or two of this form over the last few years here, could someone let me know if this is a scarce / common form at Upton ?
