Superb set Snappy (1st one in batch 2 is Little Egret, I think you clicked wrong pic to upload lol). Beautiful demoiselle is exactly that... beautiful. Lovely humbugs with adult GCG :o) I'm not going to mention the Red Kites, coz I'll just get all jealous!!! Thanks for sharing :o)
(Pardon the Scottish Accent)
A good set of photos Snappy Mac.
I'll concur the thrush is a song thrush. The giveaway clue is the inverted hearts on the chest, as the thrush sings its heart out.....
Blame my late father in law for that one......
Your damselfly is an azure, and it looks like your Beautiful Demoiselle could be a female banded.
