Hi Nick,this is a teneral female Common-blue Damselfly,teneral meaning immature and newly emerged,you can tell it is a Common-blue by the abdomen coloration,and the ghosted pattern,of female markings along the abdomen.You can also see the vulvar scale on the underside of the abdomen,just at the tip,identifying it also as a female,this is used to gouge out plant material,when egg-laying and also to transfer sperm from the male. Very Happy

All views expressed within the Wildlife Album are those of the contributor and not necessarily those of the Lincolnshire Wildlife Album Administrators. All images on the Wildlife Album are taken in Lincolnshire, for further information on Lincolnshire Birds, see http://www.lincsbirdclub.co.uk . The terms of the Wildlife and Countryside Act must be observed and licences obtained to photograph Schedule 1 species from the appropriate Statutory Nature Conservation Agency. The Lincsbirds photo Album does not encourage images of rare birds taken at the nest or with young - a copy of the appropriate licences must be available, otherwise your image will be removed.

The Bird Club was formed in 1979, to encourage and further an interest in the bird life, birding and birdwatching of the historic county of Lincolnshire, to collect and publish information on bird movements and bird populations, bird taxonomy, bird status, to encourage conservation of the wildlife of the county of Lincolnshire and to provide sound information on which bird conservation policies can be based.

Joining the Bird Club is a great way to make new birdwatching friends and contacts in Lincolnshire! If you are a "beginner", but keen to become actively involved in birding, you will find that learning about your county's wild birds - how, when and where to see them - is both easier and more enjoyable when undertaken in the company of our local enthusiasts. If you're already an active birdwatcher you can add another dimension to your birding by becoming involved in our varied local activities.
