Cold Edge

I found  2 Black darters today near the top dam (Haighcote) also this one near the lower dam. Wonder if this is a female - not sure ?

I think the extra wing spots in the bright sunlight are from the shadow.

A decent show of butterflies in that area today but generally only where there were some flowers the exception being a few Red Admirals just flying through >W.
