Great photos and well done with the Azures It would be good to find out just what species are around in Calderdale,May be there is someone in the HxSS who cpuld help.??
Hi Darrel,Good stuff with damsels ,Azures must be really good records,also watch out for banded demoiselles as ive seen 2 on rochdale canal near shade area todmorden, in last few years ,and ros picked up a dead 1 in same area a few years back,also they are seen in accrington area on canals,maybe nymphs are transported by boat from further south.Hope you are ok,prob see you around,all the best bri.
