I believe this is a Banded Agrion (Agrion splendens), judging from my limited field guide anyway. In their season, they seem quite common by the river here.

Beautiful Stephen!
Thank you.
What lens do you use for these captures Stephen? You have a nice depth of field here. I’d be interested to know the lens you used, as I said, but also your camera settings.
🙂 – not what you expect, I think….
300mm f/4 with 1.4xconverter
f/13 at 1/100 sec.
I was out hoping to get some pictures of wagtails/waders at one of my favourite spots and was on my way home when chance came my way. Fortunately I had use of a mono pod.
Very nicely captured. Such a long tail!
Thank you. They use their tails to join with females tail to tail for mating.
Oh, what a nice looking damselfly – great shot as well. 3 or 4 cm long, or…?
Freaky and fantastic shot!
Cheers!
