A four-spotted and a scarce chaser "fighting" for the best raised hide.
Once this and then the other way round
Photos are back from June, but I didn't find the time to process them until today.
Now both species are no longer in the air.

Really nice with that reflection.
The wings are so yellowish/brownish. Do you know the species or do you have a close-up?
I'm always interested in species of other countries/continents

A scarce chaser, first in its raised hide, then enjoying the meal, a female azure bluet.

Nature red in tooth and claw. I saw a Willow Emerald kick a Ruddy Darter of its perch. Seemed a bit foolhardy.

Sad to say I did not get a close-up...and therefore have no awareness of the species.Really nice with that reflection.

The small red-eyed damselfly (erythromma viridulum) is the 27th (twenty-seventh!!!) species, which I could verify at our local ponds.
Look at the last abdomen segment. You'll see a black mark, an "x". And the third last is black on top and has blue sides.
Yeah!

In comparison to this, here the red-eyed damselfly (erythromma najas).
Look at the last abdomen segment. It's plan blue. And the third last is fully black.

Some of the few (on purpose) oof D&D photos I've ever made.
I was focussing (in both senses) on the grey wagtail when I recognized the skimmer or chaser in the bg
