Male Four-spot Chaser.

Male Hairy Dragonfly.

Teneral male Red-eyed Damselfly.

A few hours at my favourite spring and summer haunt today resulted in me recording the largest count of Hairy Dragonfly i have personally encountered,with 50 insects being counted,not only is this an impressive feat,but at this early date it is pretty exceptional.Another species which broke my personal records today was Red-eyed Damselfly,not only were these my first records for the year,but an impressive 47 were counted,which included 20 along one hedgerow.Other counts today included 14 Four-spot Chaser,239 Azure Damselfly,238 Common-blue Damselfly,11 Large-red Damselfly and 35 Blue-tailed Damselfly.A very productive day,hopefully the rest of the season will continue with good numbers of species.
