Foxes, foxes and more foxes.
Stunning creature.
Indeed it is, Alastair.
Lovely macro.
We normally see these damselflies around February, or late summer, in Melbourne.
Is this early for these little creatures in the UK?
Thanks, Vicki. I think our Damselflies are appearing at their normal time, more or less.
Great minds think alike Mike – I’ve just put up some shots of a large red damselfly!
I don’t know about great minds, Lucy. It’s probably more to do with the time of year and a sunny day. 🙂
I’ve seen them all my life but never this close. Do you mind me asking what kit lens you shot it with?
The lens used for this shot, Jerry, was a Canon 60 mm EF-S f2.8 macro lens.
Thank you Mike.
Fantastic shot of a beautiful damselfly 🙂
It is a beautiful insect with lovely colouring.:)
