Really like the first Damsel Chris. Ive been looking for them on my outings at sunrise, not managed to find any yet!

 

[Dave A]

Well captured and great shots. Nothing like a good fight.

They look more like Tiger beetles Chris ? I maybe wrong but..........
Another lovely set here and all class shots.

Thanks all for the comments. The damselflies I took earlier in the year. Too hot right now to get them posing, and for me! Might have luck early mornings/ late evening mind.

Graham they are Common Malachite Beetles. Thanks for the suggestion.
