Think you may have a white legged damselfly there. Recently emerged immature specimen (or teneral) but could also be an immature common blue, but I would sway towards the former. Were you near a river or a canal as that is the preferred habitat for the white legged?
regards and waiting for someone to prove me totally wrong as I am just getting to know dragon and damselflies.

Bit 'late in the day' for a white leg to be emerging i would have thought? My best guess would be a common blue....?

I missed this one before - no photo came up! It is a very recently emerged male Common Blue. The thorax markings can just be made out if you look very closely, and there are no dark markings on the eight and ninth abdomenal segments.
