Stocker's damselflies

Hi all,

Yesterday I went to Stocker's lake in Rickmansworth with my friend Josh. As far as bird life goes, it was pretty bad, but what was good about it was the insect life, in particular, the damselflies. The highlight of the day without a shadow of a doubt. We watched them zoom around, stopping to rest every now and then. We even found a few mating pairs of damselflies.
To start off, I tried out some super macro photography.


I also tried out some wide-angle macro, trying to include the surrounding urban scene and river. 



In the shot before, you saw two mating damselflies in front of the river. This is the same pair but in a different style photograph.


Over the summer there will be many more posts to come with, hopefully, many new species.
