Butterflies and Damsels and Dragons photographed on our walk 8th July 2025, part 2. Enjoy
Gatekeepers are everywhere πΌπ½ meadow browns less so
Once we’d seen one green-veined white, it seems they too are everywhere πΌπ½
We get so excited when we see commas, especially when they remain still long enough for a photo πΌπ½β¬
Dragonflies were flitting but not waiting for us, so we must be satisfied with a ruddy darter (tentative i.d.) π½
The common blue damsel πΌ male and π½ female
First ever sighting for me of this emerald spread-wing π½ and such a beautiful shot. Makes all the aches, pains and burning feet worthwhile
Hope you enjoyed. Keep watching this space!











Beautiful!
