New Species - Large Red Damselfly

The damselfly was considerate enough to come into the house to allow itself to be identified and photographed. That's the second Odnanatid that has appeared since I had the pond dug and lined. There's only a very very small puddle in the pond itself and that is likely to disappear with a couple more hot days but nonetheless the damselflies seem to appreciate the new facility and are flocking to the site to stake a claim for later in the year. So overall I have identified three Odonatids on site - a Common Darter last year and Azure and Large Red Damselflies this year.
